I was on my way home today, in stop and go traffic, when the BAS light came on followed by the Anti-Skid light. I pulled off the freeway, shut the car off, and all the prior warning lights went off. Then about 10 miles down the freeway it happened again. I drove it home and parked it, checked all the fuses and started it up again. I put my foot on the brake and the BAS light came on. I fiddled with the switch, turning it on and off but the light stayed on until I shut it off which reset the BAS light, but It continues to come on when I apply the brakes. Then to make matters worse the Check Engine light came on. I turned the key on to engage the system and a warning light came on saying that the oil level was to high. I checked the dipstick and it's right where it's always been no loss of oil and nothing to indicate that the oil was contaminated. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Invest in a scanner...please. And one that can also read the codes from your OBDII port
It's a guessing game to trouble shoot without one.

If it was me.... two things to consider:

1. Replace Brake Light Switch as advised Genuine MB Brake Light Switch - it's cheap - do a google video/you tube search "replace W210 brake light switch"

2. Your Battery might be getting towards end-of-life - low voltage of a failing battery starts 1st setting off electrical gremlins
