In Reply to: Brake Lining Light on 1989 325i... posted by tombo on May 20, 2001 at 18:16:18:


Hi
I'm 16, and my dad just gave me his 1989 325i (he got a 530i) and this Brake Lining light is always on! The dealer doesn't know what's wrong, as he checked the brakes and said they were fine. Has anyone had this problem on older models?
Thanks

Best guess is the sensor is bad; you can replace for about $6.00; easy to install if you or you Dad has ever replaced pads on disk brakes. If that doesn't fix it; you may have a short in the circuit. Nice car for a 16 year old....Drive with care!!!
