S500 No ASR/ABS lights
Hi Guys,

Hoping some one on here can help me as we seem to be drawing a blank,

When I start the car the ABS and ASR lights do not do there preflight checks/lighting up the don't come on at all. bulbs have been tested and are fine.
Car needs to have at least the ABD light do its thing to pass out local inspection (MOT) so hoping its quite a simple one!

Thanks

Andy

Hi Plutoe, thanks for the reply! I'm aware of the blink testers and was hoping to avoid having to make and use one to be honest, but if it works it works
