| Brake Switch Replacement (ABS/ETS warning light)
(Original post is by A1EK on BW, I do not claim this as my own work) First you need to remove the underside panel of the drivers panel:
There should be 4 Phillips screws you need to undo first.
1 near the bonnet release.
2 near the front the opposite side to bonnet release.
3 underneath in middle
4 at the back above pedals.
With these screws removed you need to pull the tray towards you as there are clips on the front under steering wheel. Then near the centre console you need to pull downwards as there are 3 clips there also. That should be it!
To remove the Brake Switch:
I found it best to put the seat right back and lie almost on your back on the floor. The switch is located above the brake pedal at the back. On the top of the brake switch in the 12 o'clock position, there is a little plastic catch, which you need to depress and then at the same time turn the switch clockwise a quarter of a turn. You may find it easier to unplug the two wires first. Once turned you can remove the switch.
Pay attention to the length of the actuator (plunger),as it is on a ratchet system and your new switch needs to be the same length, otherwise it will not operatet properly.
Use an original Merc brake switch and just rotate the sitch anti-clockwise this time to fit back in the mounting.
luck, and I hope it fixes your car.!
