Still have breakswitch problem

The switch itself seems to be good it shows continuity, battery is reading a little over 12volts, problem still seems to happen when pressing the brake.
I've takin it out aleast a dozen time's and nothing.I will read the codes tommorow and keep you all posted.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
12 volts is to low

what is the alternator putting out?
Did you replace the brake switch with a new upgraded one?To test it you need to test the abs terminals of the switch if it is giving you the dash warnings.Also have you checked for corrosion at the brake light sockets?

The switch is oem and new, I will check alternator in the morning, also when I pull the switch off the socket when the car is running the warning lights come on, thats why it seems to be the switch or some other problem.
