It is also possible that you got a bad brake light switch from MB. I don’t recall ever seeing a procedure for testing them - just replace.


Already changed all the bulbs with the correct wattage bulbs on the entire car. I will reorder the Brake Light Switch, but does anybody know if it can fail intermittently or would it just fail period? Also, I will be changing the voltage regulator, the voltage is never stable. it jumps all around from 13.3 to 13.9 at idle with all accessories off. never have I seen 14 volts (reading from the OBD2 Port) I will re-clean all the grounds again and hope that helps. I will also clean the Positive terminal in the engine bay.
