SmartCar, 453,.353 2016 ForTwo Passion Turbo 898CC L3 Turbocharged The brake light switch failed on car, which give several errors. I ordered a new switch, PN 4535453300. Installed new switch and as soon as car was started had errors again. The switch came with not installation instructions and the service manual does not have any instructions as to adjusting length of switch. I took switch apart and shorted the length of the plastic that contacts the brake pedal. Started car with no errors and ran a diagnostic checks with my analyzer, no errors. I took the old brake switch apart, cleaned the electrical contacts, and adjusted the length, it how works also with not errors. My question is should switch required adjustment? Is there a pad missing on brake pedal that would change how far switch moves in and out? I can not find anything on line that matched my issue for a common failure. Thank you for any ideas I'm at a stuck on this one

Hey guys! Been absent a while here but with the warm weather about, my SO and I have pulled our Cabrios out of storage and are once again cruising around in smart style. Her 451 had a surprising rattle when driving that was very odd and would go away when the brakes were applied. So I diagnosed and fixed the issue. I decided to make a video and thought I would share it here in case anyone wants to check it out. I'll try to embed the video below. Now my question to you guys is, what would you like to see? I've got 450s and 451s here to work on and would be happy to go through any maintenance or repair procedures that you would like to see on YouTube. So if there's something in particular you want to see me work on, let me know by replying to this thread and I will get a car in and record the procedure for you as I have time. Cheers! -
Hi, yesterday my BRAKE and ESP warning lights starting coming on and staying on. Than I turn off the engine and waite for a while. So I tun it back on but the lights stayed on. I drive carefully but the SPEEDOMETER showed 0 (zero) and stayed there. The dealer of garage said it could be my ABS SENSOR. So I want to know what is right? What can I do with this problem? Anyone knows this problem? Thanks !!! (Smart 450 MC01, 1999 model)
