My 2000 plate SLK 230K has been stood since December. The battery was regularly charged and the car started but not driven.

Yesterday took the car out for a long drive and everything was fine for the first 80 miles then, on the motorway, the cruise control suddenly cut out and the ABS and ESP warning lights came on.

Have had all the wheels off this morning, cleaned out all the brakes, speed sensors etc. Turned the steering wheel all the way left, then right then centre but the lights are still on.

The car drives fine but still no cruise control and ABS not working. RAC had a quick look yesterday but computer just said speed sensor problem, although he could not properly gain access.

Any ideas or suggestions?
 
System voltage low ?

Battery ? Charging system ?
 
Get the fault codes read with a better code reader. A Star is ideal.
 
Brake light switch ? , about £10 from the dealers. Take your VIN to order it.

Takes 30 secs to fit.
