brake job....now problems!
Okay, so I have a 2003 S400 4MATIC, with 42,xxx miles on it. Last week I took it to an independent shop to get the rear brake pads changed (the Brake wear light had come on and the dealership wanted too much $$). After having the pads changed (OEM Pads according to the shop), the Brake Wear light went away and there were "0 Malfunctions" for two days. On the third day, I go to start the car and all of a sudden I have 5 Malfunctions,
ESP
ABS
Airmatic Suspension
BAS
Pre-Safe Not Operational
Does anybody know what could be the cause of this? I tried this method:
start car
turn wheel all the way to the left
turn wheel all the way to the right
turn back to center
wait 30 sec
turn off
restart
all the malfunctions were still present. The red "BRAKE" indicator is constant on the dash now as if I had the e-brake engaged.
Any clues??

I hate to say it, but the dealership is starting to look like it might have been the cheaper option. That is why I always take my car to the dealership for service of all kinds.
Good luck.
