Hi everyone, I was driving 3 days ago on the highway doing 75Mph and using my brake to slow down for traffic coming ahead (BOOM) my Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is not operative message and the warning light came on at the same time, my Cruise Control (CC) not working warning message came on too within minute or two! To make the story short, I ordered Mercedes's OEM brake switch replacement part (a common problem for the E series as I know of, maybe other models too, if they are using the same switch) for $19.95, and easy to replace DIY in 15 minutes for me! This part solved my ESP and CC problems! P.S. Make sure you are pushing on the brake paddle and HOLDING then install the new switch, NOW slowly release the paddle. This will reset the switch for your Brake Paddle Traveling Distens, ESP & CC! Happy Driving! 🙂

The length difference is because these have a ratchet self-adjustment when installed. You could yank the old one back out to the full length & reinstall to reset the travel. Possible that could fix an issue, but usually not. If you looked at new one after installing, it would look shorter. Pushing on the new one before installing might make it set itself wrong - if so, pull hard to get it back to full length before installing. It is difficult without a helper, but you are supposed to hold down the brake pedal when inserting - for the proper self-adjust. Probably OK if you can't hold it down very far, but if issues come back, that can be why & you should uninstall, pull it out to full length & figure out a way to depress pedal while you are installing. Also, if you couldn't hold pedal down very far, check to be sure your lights come on even with very slight initial pedal travel.

what are the symptoms of a bad switch?

[@Venezia1110]

Any of these could be caused by something else, of course.
