Yes I did download the manual but wife has been in the hospital and that means I'm full time daddy day care for a while. If cleanong it up and re attatching everything doesn't solve the issue I'm not sure but it looks as though I can bypass this all together can anyone confirm this. May be another week before I can get to it.Comment

orthroscopic surgery for athletic no danger she's just layed up for a couple weeks. Brake lights and all other lights work just fine. Just tired of the check panel always being lit and the flashing check in the dash staying on.Comment

Hmmm, can this be a bad contact issue in the brake light socket? bad grounds some times do this 'false negative' thing, where the CP says the light failed, but it works. It only has to fail for a millisecond to set off the panel.
Isn't there a way to cancel the flashing 'Check' with a button? Don't know E30s as well as I do my E28.
Here's a quick and easy way to verify brake lights working- back up to a store front with glass windows, look in your rear view, then step on the brake pedal. Glass window acts as a mirror for verification. Just one way to confirm the flashing 'check' is bogus.
What year is your car? it looks to me like the late version tails were more reliable as to ground contacts.

Andy, all of the above is true.
On the E30 and E28, often the check panel diodes are overlooked, so I harp on them heavily. CRC is your friend!

88 cabby it has the early model tails I have completely taken apart the backing panels sanded scuffed and cleaned all the contacts including the ground underneath the light bar and replaced all the bulbs the button does turn off the flashing check light but a mile or so down the road it will start flashing again with no other panel lights coming on I haven't tore out the back seat yet to check the curcuit but that's planned for saturday I'm all over it thenComment

Thanks for posting that pic! I've been meaning to track down that little shit box for months now in my vert.
Luke's CRC cleaning badgering took care of my brake light and license plate light on the check panel. Gotta dig this little bastard up now.sigpicComment

Talk about delayed reaction...you get off the hook though, Daddy work is WAY more important!
So that seems to be the left side? Evil spot!
While you are in there, grab a 10mm, loosen that ground bolt, squirt some contact cleaner in there and retighten.
GJ!
