4 matic Light on
Yesterday, I was driving my 1992 300e and my 4 Matic warning light came on. I followed a test procedure that I found online and this was the trouble code that I found. "10-Hydraulic valve 3, short- or open-circuit, OR brake switch defect." Can anyone tell me what I should start looking at? I'm new to this. Thanks

Start with the stop lamp switch. These are very common on the 4-matic.
They are also fairly cheap and easy to replace. |
If that switch is bad, does that mean that the brake lights will not illuminate?
|
Are your brake-lights European nickle-plated sockets with 21watt bulb or US-style copper-base?
Mine threw brake-light switch codes with a US-style replacement brake light bulb. |
No the brake lamp switch can cause the code with the lights still working.
|
I have idea. How can I tell?

Yes. They are cheap and easy to repl.
|
I ordred the part. Is it ok to drive until I Change it?
|
yes
|
I just replaced the switch and it worked. What a relief! What does the brake light switch have to do with the 4 Matic? Thanks for the advice!
|
the brake switch has 2 other functions.when the peddle is pushed it activates the ABS.when released it activates the 4 matic.:)
