Battery, ABS & ASR Lights On....

Hi Guys & Girls,

I am hoping you can help me.

I have a 1994 S600 which I have picked up and noticed the battery, abs & asr lights are on. I understand this topic has been spoken about previously and I have read through them.

However... I have the same problem plus my battery light comes one. When I start the car the battery light pops up within 2-4 seconds and then the ABS & ASR light a second later. My first thought is the alternator is not charging which is normally when the alternator light comes on and I have read that if the volts drop the ABS & ASR lights will also come on. I have placed a meter on the battery and it is defiantly charging so the alternator is working.

Any suggestions what it could be.

Thank you.

How many amps does the battery give with the car not running?

If it is 18 when running the diodes in your alternator are most likely no good.
Putting out to much causing voltage problems triggering your ABS and OVP lights.
Also check the fuse on the OVP it is located on top of the unit.
I doubt it will be blown though.

The 13 is fine.

Clk. 320 1998
A/C, asr/abs problem during speeding up

I have a clk 320 1998, I have a problem with my a/c every time I speed up it's no longer working well and I also noticed lately that the asr/abs lights up every time the speed reaches 20 km/hr and stayed on while the engine is running but when I off the ignition and restart it's gone then the problem recurring after reaching the speed mention above. Help me guys

18 is to high,check to see if you have a removeable voltage regulator you can change.
