Subject: OT - E46 pad sensor light on instrument panel Author: sweakley : member since November, 2004 : 344 posts Posted on: 2008-10-11 17:01:45

Had the brake pad sensor light on the instrument panel so I ordered new pads and sensors front and rear.

Replaced everything and turned the key to on and - damn if the brake pad sensor light wasn't still on.

Jacked up the rear and metered out the new sensor. Everything was fine. Must be the new sensor front right. Metered out the front sensor and everything checks out OK.

So why do I still have the pad sensor light on the instrument panel?

Anyone have any idea?

Thanks in advance,

Steve
