BAS ABS ESP Errors
Hello, I am a newbie here. Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
My 2001 C320 has me at my wits end. I am continually getting these errors,
when I do it causes my car to stop shifting speedometer stops working etc.
If I pull over and turn off the car restart then it will usually go, it seems to be worse on a hot day or if driving around town doing errands. Lately it seems to be getting much more frequent. I am afraid i am going to get stuck on the highway some day with a huge tow bill. I love my car but it is so expensive to diagnose the many many issues i have had with it. I think i found a fix here for my battery draining issue...going to go cut some wires
Wish me luck !!

Check your ABS/ESP computer connector for water damage/corrosion. It is a known issue on the early w203's that water would get into the connector and cause all those errors (my w203 had it happen and required a new computer $250 from a wrecker)
You really need to get the car scanned with a star computer though to actually diagnose the issue though. When my car started to have this issue is when I bought my Star computer and it saved me at least a grand.

before buying anything, remove the grounding wire and clean all terminals with wire wool or similar and electrical contact cleaner.
