Hi could anyone help with this one My Bas/light had been coming on intermitently but for the last week has remained on all the time, I have replaced the brake light switch today but the light has remained on. There does not seem to be anything else wrong ie. no loss of power. Any suggestions of what I could try next

The battery would be the next logical step, the running voltage of the car needs to be checked, battery engine off 12-12.5, running voltage 13.8 min.

It could well be sensors, but one must start with basics before going on.

The voltage can be measured on any cheap £5 meter.

Looking
Have you done the steering lock to lock reset? Not sure if it applies with these fault codes.

Thank you stats I forgot this, and just think that ever one does this.

Just for the record MB say that it should be turned 3 times to set the tuning fork centrally

Thank you. malcolm

Just turn the steering fully from one lock to the other, 3 times, just do it while moving slowly forward.
