Mercedes W221 s550 4matic 2006, Mercedes w220 s500 1999
BAS, ESP, airmatic, speedtronic

On my mercedes w220 s500 1999, I suddenly came across several problems in just 2 days, it started when I used my breaks and abs kicked in, when only touching the break peddal, and the road was basically dry. The car also didnt want to go out of 2nd gear. Sometimes it breaks and even gives a little bit of throttle without me doing anything. the problems dissapear when I restart my car, but some symptomes comes again after driving. Checked the volts, and it read 14.2. Ive heard from other w220 owners that it might come water near the main computer, and can cause several problems. Speedtronic is not working at all and the ABS light wont come off. When locked in second gear on highway the speedometer wouldnt work. Any suggestions for what to do ?
Thanks alot -

Edit- Been searching around, found out the brake light switch may cause some similar problems
