ml320
evening peeps. Got a 99t ml320. Good condition loads of history and cheap as bought from a family friend. Problem i need help with is bad,esp and abs lights are on. When i start the car it bleeps at me flashes ! In middle of rev counter and flashes red brake symbol. Looked at fluid and its full. Help please!!! Where do i start looking? Car was stood for 3 months before i bought car.
 
First port of call would be the brake light switch , about £15 from the dealer ( take your vin )

Really though , it should go on a STAR first to see what is wrong.

The brake light switch cures a lot of these problems though , so worth a try first.
 
brake light switch changed yesterday. I'm going to clean all abs sensors as it was stood for a while. All lights went off earlier for 5 seconds but came back on.
 
Make sure the battery is in good condition, holding around 12.6 V no load and engine off and charging at around 14,6V

Otherwise, as Howard has said, get a proper diagnostic from an Independent with Star.
 
cheers lads. There's a specialist in Duffield. I'll book it in
 
checked voltage and its 12.6 and 14.2 on tickover. Going to clean abs sensors next and book in to specialist at Duffield
