PorKen,
Cool!
I wasn't going to do a butcher job, but did plan on a cut and splice with soldered blade type connectors. This would include leaving enough of the LCU feed and return wires to solder on the requisite 'reconnect or blade or female connectors taped off for a future electical masochist to continue with the self-abuse. All wires would be identified as to function and proper pin I.D..
Am I correct in assuming both feed and return were jumped with the Mercedes device? Was it necessary to jump the return if there was no feed? Have you been forced to bypass/jump any other system?
I'm on my second new set(s) of brake pad sensors pads are great Old sensors checked out ok and had no damage 1st set had a small road rock that wedged between passanger side firewall and bundled wire which caused a short/broken wire. The sensor wiring is factory located in hard to reach places.
TIA.
P.S. For whatever your reasons, I am glad -in a way- that I am not the only person who has decided that a bypass of the LCU is a viable option in certain situations. I, for one. see no future in wasteing more time/money, and there's been a lot of it, on this system.

Is'nt that warning thing a pain some days!!!!
Had a similar problem when first got my car, then I noticed that the third brake light, high mounted in the rear hatch was not working, replaced it and all was right with the world. I'm not sure what year they started using that light but it may be worth looking if you have one.
good luck in the troubleshooting....
