Then when I start the engine next time the ABS is not on. Also after replaced the front pads the brake pedal goes half way to the floor.

Good morning,

Check the sensors for the front wheels to be sure there is no loose connections or damage to the ABS sensor.

Can you get me the code that is stored for the light to narrow the area of failure?

Did you replace the rotors as well? This could be the result of the pedal. Mercedes always recommends pads, rotors and sensors for a brake reline.

Did you bleed the brakes when you were finished?
