WHILST DRIVING NORMALLY 2 DAYS AGO I TOUCHED THE BRAKE PEDAL LIGHTLY AND THE ABOVE LIGHTS CAME ON WITH THE MESSAGE "VISIT WORKSHOP"
I drove home switched engine off and was informed that I had 3 malfunctions.Next day,malfunctions had cleared,all was well no problems occurred.
Today,problem returned when I touched the footbrake (after braking many times).The brakes seem to work perfectly but the warning lights stay on until I switch engine off.
Car is 2003 W210 Auto Est E220cdi having covered 86,000 miles.
Can anyone advise what the problem might be before I visit the local dealer please?
Many thanks
John

Hi john,just change the brake light switch that sits above the pedal,easy to fit and cost around £10
