I have a 1989 Mercedes 300 SE with 175,000 miles on it. I put the last
40,000 on it and it has been a really dependable car even though I have
done a good bit of work on it. Thing is, the car is 20+ years old and it
needs a paint job and the seats are cracked pretty bad. I had a front
wheel
There was an add in the local trading post for a 1998 C220 for $500. The
lady who posted the add first thought it was a BMW then said it was a
320E so you can get some idea of whom I am dealing with. She said the
C220 had a broken timing belt and didn't run. She said and I quote, it

I went to have the front end aligned on the ol' Luftwaffle yesterday and
I got told I needed to have the Idler Arm rebuilt. The technician
showed me the problem but I have my doubts it's called an idler arm
when ordering parts. What has a bit of wiggle to it is a cylindrical

brakes pulsing the pedal up as I came to a slow speed stop. I didn't
have a dash light indication and after some discussion here I cleaned

I really don't understand why you don't just fix it. It's a safety system with
proven worth - why not repair it?
Think your insurance company would like to have this thread exchange,
especially post-collision when they are trying to decide to cover a claim or

Tell me how to fix it.
It's centered between the firewalls on the 126,
has a great big 35-pin two-row connector.
Ok, found and unplugged it. It disabled the ABS just fine but it still
caused the ABS light to go off just like anything else I unplugged which

Pull the ABS relay (under the black cover that says ABS) and see if the problem
is still happening.

Any way to disconnect this and turn off the ABS light? Other than
black tape or pulling the instrument cluster to remove the bulb that is.
