Re: E34 - Brake Lining light

["Ron Buchalski" <rbuchals@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,

Did you replace the wear sensor(s), or did you re-use them?  If you re-used 
them, was your brake warning light on prior to your pad swap?  If so, then 
one or both of your wear sensors is bad, and needs to be replaced.

Or, perhaps you mis-installed the wear sensor(s).  There is a small copper 
'band' around the outside edge of the sensor, that makes contact with the 
brake pad.  If the metal is missing or damaged, or mis-aligned, it may cause 
your brake lining circuit to detect the fault.
