I followed many of your videos for my DYI projects on my ML including your central console opening method. ML430 2001 BAS/ESP I got the foxwell nt650 elite scanner. Upon initial scan there were lot of old stored codes (12) 1x C1200: S9/1 (stop lamp switch) Plausibility 1x C1000: N47-5 (ESP. SPS[PML] and BAS control unit) 1x C1140-12: N49 (Steering angle sensor) 1x C1140-08: N49 (Steering angle sensor) 3x C1120: N64 (ESP Yaw rate sensor) 1x C1527: implausible ESP control control time > 10s 4x C1142: B24/2 Lateral acceleration sensor [Total 12 count] -The C1200 was because I removed brake light switch & tested that with multimeter for fault but it was good so placed it back. -To rule out C1140 Steering Angle Sensor, I tested live data & it was showing correct angle data so just re-calibrated & cleared that. -For C1142 Lateral acceleration sensor, I already replaced that part so I knew its an old stored code & cleared that. -Later I went ahead and cleared all remaining to see what codes popup next. -After 2 days I again got “C1120: N64 ESP Yaw rate sensor” again cleared. -After 7 days I got again the same C1120 this time I cleared & it was coming every time I drive for like 5-10 minutes (the only difference I cleared it immediately the moment it came up by stopping car , clearing code & test drove again like 2x times) at last I went on drive with BAS/ESP light ON without clearing code & after 10minutes this time upon scan it threw C1120 Yaw rate & C1000: N47-5 (ESP. SPS[PML] and BAS control unit) {more scarier} After clearing both codes its 2 days no codes yet. So based on this diagnosis on my 2001 ML430 I am suspecting “Yaw Rate Sensor is faulty”; I am planning to replace that now & On close inspection under the central console On the top side of “Yaw Rate Sensor” part# A163 542 2140 this part is discontinued by Mercedes just like Lateral acceleration sensor. can you suggest some way to find compatible new part# for 2001 ML430 ? Also please suggest some stuff for C1000 as a backup plan just in case if reappear. Thanks in advance
Here in the Uk,when you go to Eurocar parts,the brake light switch that comes up on their system is 464220040, its single port only,meaning,its not the same as above..... If you want the brake light switch same as above give them item code 464220090. Its not blue,its pictured yellow on their website but i got a dirty grey colour,as long as it works i guess...............Thanks guys ur video was very good,easy to follow.....Price is £12.99
The problem is that these switches doesn't last long. Both from aftermarket as original mercedes fail after a couple of years, sometimes after few months. The main contact is pretty sturdy, but the secondary one is as fragile as tin foil. Bad engineering or programmed obsolecence? Who knows!
I can't put my car into park or reverse. I just picked up the brake switch , hoping that fixes it. Dealer replaced it on recall 3yrs ago. Different symptoms back then tho.
I couldn't get my car out of park and rear brake lights weren't working. I was about to pay for a tow and then pay a mechanic but found this video 1st. The nearby dealership sold me that plastic thingy for $35, and after swapping it, voilà, I'm driving again.
I am having the same problem , my brake lights work fine but it is stuck on Park must of the time, i had to be playing with it until it moves or I go to that little hole on the bottom on the shift handle cover by a little plastic plate and stick a small screw driver push it in and it move right away to drive !! it is an emergency switch to do it manually so you can go home until you fix it.... @@leeroybodell2403
My 2003 ML 350 doesn't have the brake switch installed. Somehow the brake lights still come on when I press the pedal down. Where is the brake light switch on my car?
@@kitecattestecke2303 the plunger on top sometimes u need to pull it out I just purchased one the plunger was already pulled out. If u don't it won't work properly making u think it's another problem.
Always the "BAD bake light switch" of MERCEDES = Low volt ~ little corrosion on the contact and "YOU ARE THE LUCKY ONE", 60.000km, already 2 times !!! (Bad MERCEDES PARTS !)

ML430 2001 BAS/ESP
I got the foxwell nt650 elite scanner. Upon initial scan there were lot of old stored codes (12)
1x C1200: S9/1 (stop lamp switch) Plausibility

1x C1140-12: N49 (Steering angle sensor)
1x C1140-08: N49 (Steering angle sensor)
3x C1120: N64 (ESP Yaw rate sensor)
1x C1527: implausible ESP control control time > 10s
4x C1142: B24/2 Lateral acceleration sensor
[Total 12 count]
-The C1200 was because I removed brake light switch & tested that with multimeter for fault but it was good so placed it back.
-To rule out C1140 Steering Angle Sensor, I tested live data & it was showing correct angle data so just re-calibrated & cleared that.
-For C1142 Lateral acceleration sensor, I already replaced that part so I knew its an old stored code & cleared that.
-Later I went ahead and cleared all remaining to see what codes popup next.
-After 2 days I again got “C1120: N64 ESP Yaw rate sensor” again cleared.
-After 7 days I got again the same C1120 this time I cleared & it was coming every time I drive for like 5-10 minutes (the only difference I cleared it immediately the moment it came up by stopping car , clearing code & test drove again like 2x times) at last I went on drive with BAS/ESP light ON without clearing code & after 10minutes this time upon scan it threw C1120 Yaw rate &

do you know if it needs 4 pole or 6 pole brake light switch?
I can't put my car into park or reverse. I just picked up the brake switch , hoping that fixes it. Dealer replaced it on recall 3yrs ago. Different symptoms back then tho.
