Mercedes 560 1985 the light between the battery and brake light comes on when appling the brake?
That light coming on when you apply the brakes is your brake sensors, from the front brakes, telling you that it's about time to replace the front brake pads. You still have some time to replace the pads and sensors, maybe a thousand miles would be my guess. Depending on the wear on the rotors (check the lips on the outside edge of the rotors) you might only need to replace the pads, and not the rotors. It's not recommended to turn these rotors, but replace them. It's cheaper to just swap the rotors. You can pick rotors up for under $40.00 each, and pads for around $35.00. Sensors are under $10.00 for the 4 you need. And then the brake grease to apply on the back of the pads is only a few dollars. So for around $125.00, you can have a front brake job, providing you're doing the work yourself. If you take it to a garage, it will cost $3-350.00. Dealerships will probably charge you at least $500.00.

Why would the front disk brakes on an 1985 Ford Tempo make a grinding noise as if the hub and shoes are going to come off?
Im sure that the brake pads are worn enough that the rivits that hold the pads on to the metal brackets are rubbung the rotors, or there is no pad left and the brackets are rubbing. Either case you may have to take the rotors off and have them turned to refinish the surface. Rotors on that model cost only 25 $ calipers only about 15$ pads about 15.$ Total brake job front $ 99.00 or less, if u do it your self. While u are at it, check the bearings in the wheel hub, they like to be changed also...... It could also be wheel bearings going out in the front. Parts are usually around 30 bucks but you have to have them pressed into the steering knuckle by someone with a press.
