But I said the proper fix :( not "hey where can I get my asshole torn open"

[ethrtyiS]

why not try a small independent shop who has a reader and can reset the light for you?

Brake pad wear sensor

Brake pad wear sensor

Lol yes I know. I replaced both of them with the pads. Is there something I need to do to reset the light?

Iron-e do you still have that spare bumper bolt?

[dvck]

Oh, that wasn't mentioned. Afaik there's no reset, the sensor ties up that circuit and keeps the bulb off, so only when it's used/bad the light goes on, much like the parking brake light.

[ky0u]

Do you think I have a break in a harness?

[Herr Faust Schinken]

that reminds me next time I'm at the yards i need to pull a bolt for the rear bumper

[dvck]

It's possible, my last car did that, I thought I needed pads, wen I went to check I traced it to that the wire had come loose and rubbed against the wheel enough that it exposed one of the leads.

Hope you can sort that out, lights on like that bug the waffles out of me

[IRON-E]

Yes, I still have the bolts for you and Omar is right, I get that "Brake Linning" light too, due a tear on the rubber lining of the sensor, really commun to get this issue.

How much to 92584 at your convenience? I just need one of them :p

A broken trace on the instrument cluster PCB can also cause the brake lining light to stay on. I personally never had that problem but I have heard of it. Run a search.

Mine doesn't stay on. Prior to swapping the pads and sensors, it wpuld sometimes not turn on at all for a whole drive. Could a faultytrace still cause that?

[ethrtyiS]

just remove the bulb from the back of the cluster. problem solved.

My car is a pos. Instead of fixing everything wrong with the drivetrain, I wanted to replace everything with the (refreshed) m30 since its one of the easier swaps. And since I got hired at the Beverly Hills Hotel I need a reliable-ish ride asap but I don't have the time, patience, tools, experience, or place necessary to do the job.

I have a garage if that helps? How long do you need?

Also, just filled up the tank in the 318is and I averaged 26.8 mpg. I waffleswaffleswaffleswafflesing love it.
