hello fellow benz fans, i really need ur advice on the traction control of my s600, just a while ago i replaced a dead bulb on my instrument cluster, i put everything back in place, after taking a shower i start the engine rev and warm up the car, after a while i put it in Drive and its ok but when i stepped harder on the pedal reaching 1500rpm the traction control light went on and the car began to slow down, as i stepped on the brakes the light was off then again when i start to accelerate the light goes on again, what could this mean, do i need to reset the computer of the s600, the car now is undriveable, only 10-15kph, what should i do? pls help me!

Check that the plugs are tight in the rear of the instrument pod first..ok!

hello mercs600, i checked evrthing in the cluster everythings back to its place, i drove around town a while ago at first it was undriveable but i stepped hard on the pedal and then i felt that there was again powerr so i floored it then the traction light came off and until now it has not turned on again unless i drive it hard on a quick turn, unless i accelerate like a race car there's no problem. what should i check? is there a sensor somewhere that is telling the car that im skidding or loosing traction?

Sounds like that could be your ABS sensors.. either out of sync or broken.. check each one in turn.. you mignt have piced up somthing metalic thats giving you a false reading..
