Did it at least fix your ABS light problem?

Did you try disconnecting the ground on both batteries for a few minutes and see if it resets?

Check your fuses. Those are all gem module functions. Which brake switch did you replace? I don't think the brake light switch at the pedal would have anything to do with the abs light coming on.

The issue ended up being the accessory delay relay,that took care of power windows,interior lights,vanity lights , and power mirrors.Still have issue with abs light on dash.The reason I replaced the brake pedal switch was if I press pedal and hold it light stays out until I release pedal.I looked at switch and its multi contact with open and closed contacts,Mercedes uses same type of communication with the abs switch,all speed sensors are good,anything else to check?

Check your VSS, Vehicle Speed Sensor.

yes ,thats the first thing I replaced.Does the ABS code store and need to be reset,or should it clear out on its own? If I press the brake pedal it will stay out until I release it,then comes on and stays.
