: : on my 1991 525i. I tried to connect the 7 and 19 plugs with the ignition on, but did not work. It had been reset by the dealer before without problems. Wha could be the trouble ? Thanks.

I've had good uck on my 1991 525 by simply grounding the number 7 terminal with a test light. The probe goes into the terminal and the clip goes onto a ground. ignition on for five or so seconds and all the service lights come back up.
