99 SLK 230 couple of problems

[jonnyboy82]

I have a 99 merc slk 230 and recently it has developed a couple of issues.

I have an abs light on the dash and need the fault code read.

I also have my indicators that don't flash but stay on when prompted!

Car now needs an mot and obviously it won't pass. I am in North London (Enfield). Is there anyone local to me who has the diagnostic software to do this ASAP?

Thanks

Right managed to free the indicator relay by opening it up and using some very fine emery paper!

Still need a diagnostic done tho! Anyone local to Enfield?

The link has his contact details, is your car unable to be driven? An ABS fault does not stop you driving it.

No it's driveable just not taxed or mot'd! Don't really want to risk driving too far though!

Finally got the car scanned and the diagnosis is drivers side rear ABS sensor. So is there a chance it can just be dirty? If so will the abs light reset itself or will I need it scanned again to reset light? Same as if I change the sensor will it need resetting?
