???
Is it a car that has not been used very much ???
The clue of the ABS light is probably low voltage related, as by design, when the voltage is low the ABS is designed not to function - normal braking is still OK. I am thinking if the car is not used much then battery charge is suspect. Has the battery been charged or replaced ???????? as that could help. The other related item is the over voltage protection relay which has a history of faults on some years - has anyone suggested replacing that. I'm pretty sure the Batery is fine , I guess I can have that checked , I'll go today and have someone check my battery strenght , can you tell me more about the (( over voltage protection relay )?? were is it on the car ? how do I check it ?? Thanks Points of interest that may or may not have anything to do with this , I did take out the power motor for the seats a while ago , it was the power motor under the passenger side seat , it had a lot of wires I disconnected , I took it out because part of it got shorted out , ( it got wet somehow and did not work anymore ) , could this have anything to do with it ???? from what I remember the top did go down a couple of times after I took it out . The other thing is I seem to have a problem with my front passenger side front end ,tire , wheel or ETC . , every once in a while I would make a turn and hear a screaching noise ,It seems to happen often when I turn into my driveway , my driveway has a little bump in the entrance part , .....................also , the car starts to vibrate around 60 MPH's , I put 4 new tires on and then I took it somewhere to check the front end , I was told that I needed new brakes , rotors , and new front shocks , so I had all of it done , ............... well The noise was still there sometimes and the car still vibrates after 60mph's , so I took it back to him , and I told him what was happeneing , he said I needed 2 new Ball joints and a Passenger side Tire rod , I thought this was strange because how come he didn't see that before , he did work on the shocks and the brakes !! , anyway what I did was order the ball joints and tire rod , but I took the car to a Guy who specializes in Mercedes and 500sl's , this is the guy who gave me all the info with the codes and other stuff ,when I took it to him I didn't say nothing about the front end , I told him I was having a problem with my convertible , after that ........ I told him to check my ball joints and tire rod 's , he said everything was fine , I told him that someone else said I needed them , he checked again , and said that I didn't need ball joints or tire rods , , anyway , my front passenger tire which is new is worn on the inside part of the tire , ................. ((((( could this front end passenger side problem cause the ABS light to go on ?? ))))) and if so , what could the problem be ?? I put new brakes and rotors , theres new shocks , I was going to put new ball joints and a tire rod , but I was told nothing was wrong , It has to be something !!! ??? what else could it be ??? what do you think ??? Any idea's of any kind would be great ?? Thank You
