I changed the brakes and censors on my X5, the rear sensor was gone just the wire, so I replaced both. put it back together but the brake light indicator is still on. not abs or parking brake in between lit up in red BRAKE. How do I get this light to turn off?

SOURCE: Brake lights wnt wrk when pushing dwn brake, but park lights do

As cadman mention to check the fuse, and if there ok check your brake light switch along the brake peddle arm. Before you doany of that, turn your hazard light on to make sure that all your light's are not burnt out. Good luck

How do I reset the brake light code

There is no reset. You must replace the brake pad wear sensor wire (part less than $20). Go to RealOEM.com, enter your car VIN and get the specific part number. One each located on driver front wheel and passenger rear wheel. Only need to replace the one that you did the brake job on.

Check brake linings light on in bmw x5 when i turn engine off and brake light is on

One of your wheel sensors has triggered - needs brakes OR sensor has come undone. Sensors are on left front and right rear calipers. Brake light is on = low fluid. Get your brakes checked

What would be the causes for brake lining study light to come on in a bmw x5 2005.

Study light? Do you mean warning light?
There are sensors clipped into the brake pads on the front left and rear right wheels. When the brake pads get very thin, those sensors rub on the brake rotors, and the light illuminates in the dash indicating that it is time to replace the brake pads.
The light can also illuminate if something damages the wire to the sensor. I usually replace my pads before they get down to the sensors, so I re-use my old sensors. Although the wires are fairly well secured to the suspension, after a few years, the wires can get chaffed from the wind blowing them around, and the damaged wire can turn on the warning light.

BRAKE WARNING LIGHT

I dunno if this will work on your BMW, but on my BMW Z3 and M3, it was....

Turn the ignition key to position 2, but do NOT start the car. Wait for about 45 seconds and the brake warning message will be reset.

If it doesn't reset, then the brake sensor was damage. You will need to replace the brake sensor. It sounds like you replace the brake right after you saw the warning, so the brake sensor should be okay.
