@ Zeus
It would be interesting to take a voltage reading at the battery before start-up, on a really cold morning. As you know, battery capacity is greatly deminished at temperatures like - 25 C. ![]()

the brake light switches in these cars operate more than the rear lights .there are several computers that HAVE to know when you take your foot OFF the brake.buy a new switch [dealer only please] fit it and your troubles will go away.

Yeah, definitely. I figured it was either the cold somehow affecting a sensor somewhere, or a battery issue from the cold.

Thanks for all of the info. I will replace the light switch this week end. On the other hand today the temperature started at 26 and all was well but the transmission went into limp mode. I re-started the car and it worked fine. 2 miles from work under a foot of snow the lights came on. This is ramdom. The car is in the garage at night so I suspect that the battery is not the issue. I will keep you all posted on what happens.
Thanks for the advice Mike |

I got an original MB switch. The lights went away for 2 weeks but now they are back to stay. I think that I am going to take it to an MB shop. I know that this is going to hurt. If any one has sugestions before I get this amputation let me know.
