I just changed the pads on my 2000 GLE. When I finished and tested the
brakes, I could hear the relay(?) at the shifter making a loud
clicking noise when I pushed the brakes. This must be the relay that
prevents one from putting the car in gear without pushing the brake
pedal. What could I have done to make this clicking noise begin by
just changing the pads? I didn't do anything else. No disc work, etc.
Thanks for any help,
Bruce

Yep.

Nothing. It's just now are now looking for problems with the brakes and just
now really notice it..

Same thing happens when people pick their car up from a body shop etc. They
start looking for flaws and notice them all over the car, even the parts
that weren't involved in the wreck!
