I have 1998 Mercedes C and last month after I start to drive, maybe 10 minutes, ASR BAS light came on.
And that happens every day.
I changed stop light swith but that's doesn't helps.


Does anybody from you guys have the same problem?

 

This is usually caused by a faulty brake light switch

 

Hello, I just want to warn people with MB and having to replace that brake switch. BothASR/BAS lights on

I have a 1995 SL 500 and the wires going to the brake switch has two pairs of wires going to the switch, The top pair sends 12 volts to the ea, cc and isc modules, Well the wire caught fire and almost cost me a wiring harness. Something caused the short in the wires.Well all lights went out when I unshorted the wires and brake lights work now.

After reading this forum and several other I have been looking at. It seems that MB has been replacing alot of switches and wiring harness and charging big bucks.

I also own a 1995 for truck, and last year I got a recall notice, that says that the cruise control (CC) can cause an under the hood fire.

Seems to me that MB should have a recall also.

I was told by MB USA when I wrote them about the problem, to take it to a dealer and they would work with me. Well I callled them and guess what, They want big bucks to replace the switch and any wires that might have burned, nothing about helping me trouble shoot the cause of the FIRE in the first place and no safety recall as of yet.
