ABS/ESP/BAS - looking for service advice

Hi, My ABS/ESP/BAS lights come on a few times a week after hitting the brakes. They never go on while just driving. I tool it to the dealer and they said both my yaw right sensor ($1100 installed) and my stop light switch are not working properly and need to be replaced. I questioned the yaw-right sensor and they were confident that it needed to be replaced too. Should I try the stop light switch first before replacing the yaw right sensor or should i trust the dealer and have them both installed (my car is no longer under warranty).

To me, it seems one (stop light switch) may be causing the faults in the other. Any opinions?

thanks,
dave

i had the exact same problem last thursday, and my car is scheduled to for service to inspect that problem tomorrow.

From what i read on this forum, many MANY MANY people have had the same problem, and they all say its due to the switch, which is only about $15-20 bucks to replace.

I would say, change that to see if the problem persists.
