Warning lights!!
Hello
I have a 2000 E240 W210. Car has 20" c63 AMG rims and slightly lowered springs, both being the ONLY modifications. Driving last night as soon as i applied the brakes (just as normal doing nothing excessive or stupid) 3 warning came up - BAS (brake assist) ABS and ESP. Turned the car off and on again it was fine. Until i applied the brakes again. Have had the wheels and suspension like this for 30,000kms and the vehicle has never had any problems.
Any ideas??
thanks

Replace
your brake light switch.
Dealer part or www.autohausaz.com
no aftermarket fakes
diy in the diy section of the W210 forum

it will only get worser
so do it now.

w210 AMG or S213
Did you have any bulb out warning before this happened? I know a failed brake light bulb can cause the same warning lights in some cases, I bought ther switch thinking it was the issue but just replacing the bulb fixed it for me.

In my E240 and E230, I found that the contacts had burnt in the tail light, so I fixed the problem by soldering a wire from the bulb holder ( locate the correct connection) to the tail light "electrical connecting bar"
Also had another very annoying problem causing a warning , took a while to locate. Is was the reverse lights. Globes and connectors were OK,
So I removed the reverse light fuse,found under a cover at the end of the dash (checked that it was OK) and replaced it, problem solved,
