just want to make sure... but you installed new sensors right? (you can't reuse the old ones)

[Alextroy]

Yes the sensors are new

[525iT_Feen]

[Alextroy]

I don't know how to reset it manualy.
Can you tell me how to do it.
Thank you

I responded to your email.

Turn the car on press the right pin that sticks out of the cluster and hold it for a few seconds. Then turn it off and back on, light might be gone.

That's what we do in the 95, i'm making an assumtion that it was the same way in 92's.

Does not help :(

[525iT_Feen]

Hrm. Anyone else want to tell Alex. I can't think of anything.

[525iT_Feen]

Alex, your going to love this....

Our 95 525i now has the same problem.
You jynxed it. I took the wheels off to change the pads and brake lines and everything was fine. There was no need to change anything. My dad made sure everything was fine, and the lights still on.

Someone needs to help us.

[Alextroy]

Will anybody help us. :help :help

I have an E28. I've been dealing with it for awhile now. It came on when I took the car to Big-O tire to get my wheels balanced. I used to work at the local BMW dealer. I've spoken with several mechanics. They all think that there is a short somewhere in the wiring. I've check my sensors for breaks, and shorts, and have found nothing. It drives me crazy. I have traced the wires up through the wheelwells. Nothing.

Have you recently changed pads and sensors? My problem came shortly after I changed brake pads and sensors. I'm wondering if one of them are defective.

Let me know if you come up with something.

check the connection where you plugged in the new sensors, don't know for sure but most bmw's have 2 sensors, did you replace both?

[vng535i]

Yes, I did replace them both. I've checked them for defects, and shorts. Nothing.
