Re: Problem with mystery light

["Ron Jordan" <ron@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Based on what you have said, and the location of the light.  I think you are
referring to the service lights.  They run from left to right and go from
green to red.  They can only be reset using a service tool from BMW, and since
you did work on the brakes, I am thinking you triggered something in the
computer that let it know you have done work, and you are supposed to reset
it.

My guess.

  Subject: Problem with mystery light


  Need your help in identify a mystery light that appeared in a friend's
  dashboard (e28 528e).  It's a green light that looks like this "<- ->" (2
  arrows facing opposite directions, left and right).  If I remember
  correctly, it's the first light from the left on the row of indicator
  lights.  Thing is, it only appeared after we replaced the the brake disk
and
  brake pads.

  Although it doesn't seem critical (it hasn't stopped the car from working
- --
  knock on wood),
  we'd like to know what the light stands for.  It may indicate a problem
  that's not readily apparent but still important (life threatening).

  That's it.  Thanks for all the help!
