ABS light comes on when Car’s in Drive…HELP!
ABS light comes on when Car’s in Drive…HELP!
Hey guys, I’m having a new problem with my 94 C220. When I start my car up, everything seems to be fine, as soon as I put my car into Drive and start driving, the ABS light comes on and stays on. When I let go of the gas and start slowing down, the ABS light goes away. Also, when the ABS light comes on, it causes my stereo to turn off and my interior odometer cluster and climate control night time light illumination also turns off. So when I’m driving around and start to slow down and the ABS light turns off and all of these things including the stereo power back up like everything’s fine, as soon as I give the car gas, everything turns off again. This is such a strange problem. Has anyone had this problem before and what are the common things that could cause this? Please help me out guys, thanks

One year different than yours, but I'd bet a buck it's the same issue. Check out Arthur Dalton's comments in this thread:

Check the fuse on top of OVP and give the Battery an over-night charge....

>> My recommend is to just charge the battery, regardless of testings. etc. The reason for this is I suspect you have a low voltage condition and I want to take bat. out of the equation..just slow charge it over-night.. ..or, go get it done if you do not feel uncomfortable with charging it yourself. While you are there , tell them of you ASR condition. Last edited by Arthur Dalton; 07-23-2007 at 04:42 PM.

Does it matter what brand the Alternator is? So far I priced out Voltage Regulator's locally here. Which one should I go with?
Lordco price $55 for bosch $16 for valiant Napa $21 for Wilson brand

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!.....
Thanks for the help guys!!! I called mercedes benz in Surrey BC today regarding a Voltage Regulator. I was told the cost would be $124.00 for this part!!! What a RIP OFF! So I went to Lordco and purchased a Wilson Brand Voltage Regulator for $16 and went to an indy mechanic. He ripped out the Alternator and did the part swap and he was happy with $50 bucks for his effort. The car is running great now! the battery charge before was 17 volts, now it rests around 13.5 and everything is functioning again. The car's idelin properly again, ABS light is no longer on and all electrical components work again. So the problem has been solved!!!
