Brake pedal on my 1994 BMW 740i does not want to return all what way when the car is running. it appears that it seems to return when the car is not running. we have already changed out the brake booster and tested the sensors and even greased the pivoting arm. at a stand still now. basically i was driving and the car stopped me(brakes seem to lock up and started stinking and smoking) on the freeway and would not let me go/pushing the gas pedal so i had to wait and finally it seemed to let up but did not let up all the way. you have to actually pull the brake pedal back up with your hand or foot and until you do this the brake light stays on. the abs light was solid but now it is blinking. we have even adjusted the tension rod. has anyone had a similar problem and have a possible place to start looking into next. any and all ideas would be helpful and appreciated

check your calipers one of them got locked up that is why the car wont move

the way to reset the brake light is to turn the key to "on" without turning the car on. Let it sit there for 15-30 seconds and the light should go off by itself. If not, double check how you have the sensors hooked up.

check where the wires go from the inside of the body to the out around the gromet. I did run into one that the wires rubbed. Also if the light are on the trunk lid check where they go through the trunk latch.

SOURCE: both of the brake lights on my 97 bmw 740i don't work

are the dash lights still working,if so,first check the bulbs,you can get a test light at autozone for a couple bucks,with the bulb out,test light grounded,have someone step on the brake pedal,touch the test lite probe to one of the contacts inside bulb socket,if it dont work your brake lite switch is out,its located under the dash,maybe on brake pedal lever
