Odds are that it is the brake switch. My 98 E320 just went through it.

The brake lights still work fine. What won't work is the Brake Assist System and the ASR (I forget what the letters stand for). You won't notice it, unless, of course, you have to make an emergency, panic stop.

There are plenty of links showing how to replace the switch. If not here, try Benz World or the MBCA website. It is a fairly easy job.

I had my mechanic do it while the car was in for an oil change.

Good luck.

BTW...I would love to get my hands on a nice W210 diesel wagon.
