From GDL's description, the only thing you need to check about the brake switch is the operation of brake lights. If the brake lights "light up" and go off, then the brake switch is not your problem.

Jim, the 4way switch and the brake disconnect switch are the next two items on my to do list. Gonna have to find the brake switch though, Any clues as to where Mercedes might have hidden it?
Tont> I don't know about taking the actuator apart, never heard of anyone doing that. I am referring to the way it works on a W123, I forget what kind of car you have, maybe yours is different. Actually, I think Peter at gdl-online.com has posted a test procedure for it. I think he might rebuild them, too, can't remember off hand. Don't know about intermittent...that could be anything. Maybe the four-way switch is iffy...?

I wouldn't put another amp box in it unless/until I made sure I had a good actuator motor. I have used gdl-online.com for overhaul with great success.
