Brake switch fuse keeps blowing

There is short circuit in the wiring of fuse that keeps on blowing.

Brake light switch problem may cause the ESP / BAS lights to illuminate.

Common symptoms of a bad
Mercedes brake light switch.

• Car stuck in Park.
• ABS ESP ETS lights come on.
• Can not move the shifter from Park to Drive.
• Brakes Defective Warning on Instrument Cluster
• Car won't shift gears. Stuck in 2nd gear, limp mode.
• Brake lights don't work. (Brake light switch can still be defective even if the brake lights work. Checking the brake light operation is not a good test.)
• ESP, BAS, ABS lights turn on. Car won't shift properly. Stuck in gear.

TEST: To test your new brake light switch: Turn you car off to reset the ABS light. apply the parking brake. and start the car in neutral or park without using the brake. if the problem is the brake light switch... the light will only come on when you press the brake pedal.

If you replaced the brake light switch and the light is still on you should check a few other things such as:

• Fuses and Relays
• ABS pump
• ABS wheel speed sensor
• Brake Fluid Level
• Get an advanced scanner to read trouble codes.

NOTE: ** You may need a MBZ scan tool to reset the error code which was stored in the ECU because of the bad brake light switch.

try bringing it to your local auto parts store and have them scan it, most auto parts stores offer this as a free service.

you might want in this case try a higher rating fuse, example is if the fuse is 15 amp rase it to a 25 amp fuse,try not to go over 40 amp if possible,if that still blows it is more than likley a shorted switch or a bad relay causing the overload or short. after the fuse change an still a problem chech the relay for the break lights next,these are located in the engine compartment and on some models in the trunk,good luck,Gary

replace brake light switch down on the brake padel/has short in it

check to see if you have brake lights, if not you will need a brake light switch. if the brake light switch goes bad it will not let the shift interlock selenoid to release.

There is a shift interlock mechanism that only alows the key to come out in park. It is the same mechanism that will not let you put it into gear unless you put your foot on the brake. You cannot safely bypass it.

Sounds like he may have blown the brake light fuse while messing with the bulb. Make sure the correct bulb is installed. It should be a double filament bulb not a single.The wrong bulb will blow the fuse.
The shift lock solenoid uses the brake light switch to unlock.
The ABS code will be for the brake light system and will clear itself when the power is restored to the brake light switch.

Could be brake light switch
