How to reset brake light on dash after changing pads. 1999 BMW 323i
Once you have replaced the brake pads and a new sensor , turn on the ignition without starting the engine for approx 45 seconds and the warning light will reset itself , regards mark
If you exchanged the sensors wear what are the brake plates,do not disconnect the battery!!!
But just 3 times and turn off the car ignition to be in position ON and waiting. LED goes out alone after 30.seconds!
if i wear sensors on the new plates do not need to disconnect the battery and lose data set (radio, time)which are stored.
The light goes out when the ignition 3x off and on and stay on 30 sec

Hi Peters6709,
Sorry to tell you, but you need to replace the pad-wear sensors as well. They are the little trapezoid pieces that hang inside the tops of the inside pads. They should run about $10 each. Once replaced, disconnect the battery completely for about 10 minutes, if you have a stock radio keep the code handy.
Next time check the pads every 10-12K miles. I have been running the SAME pad wear sensors on my Z3 for the past 2 pad changes now after making the same mistake the first time.
Best of luck!
