The brake lining light on my 124 just started flickering, seemingly independent of whether the brake pedal is being pushed or not. I've never seen this kind of intermittent behavior before; when I've needed new pads, I think the light has always come on steadily when the pedal is down. Is this just a variation on the worn-pads signal, or something electrical? (Shamefully, I've never done the brakes on a Mercedes before, so I'm kind of unclear how the wear sensors work and thus whether they could reasonably produce a flickery dash light.) Isn't the fluid level in the master cylinder the same circuit as the brake linings sensors? In other words, a slightly low fluid level could cause the flickering you report.
