Thank you for this sir! Last thing a man needed was to have this break during Christmas. Fuse in and out and issue has been resolved. Much appreciated.
This has saved me. Was panicked when the parking brake failed out of sudden after I stopped my car upon reaching home and I couldn't drive the car anymore as it seems that the brake was already engaged though not showing light. After reset, it works again. Thank you so much!
Happened to my friend's 2013 640i. Doing this fixed it. Thank you so much. Saved lot money, towing, time and stress.
I will probably never meet you in my life, but you have proper sorted me out with this video. Thank you so much. 10 stars.
I am six years old.Today I was stuck with my dad in the x5. He watched your video and fixed the problem. Thank you very much!
+David Taylor Hey glad I could help. Hope you and your dad got home safe!
My 5 year old got stuck with my wife near school, I got myself dispatched and fixed the problem with Your help, god bless you for your ingenuity and desire to help!! My steering wheel is on the other side though ;)
Really glad it worked for you. Thanks
Today you saved me a few thousand dollars after the dealership told that I needed a parking brake EMF module needed to be replaced along with a new key fob , after watching your video I did exactly what you said and that was where my problem was, thanks for your video.
THANK YOU!!! My 2015 X5 has had the orange light on for months. Not only was the light on, but the actual emergency brake was not engaging. The red light on the emergency brake button in the center console would not come on. Saw this video after getting a quote for a $1,900 replacement and I pulled out the 3 fuses related to the P, saw that they were all still good, and put all 3 back in. Started the car, lifted the button to engage the emergency brake and problem solved. Thanks for this video!!!!
Fantastic! After two weeks of driving with the parking brake fault on my X6, I fixed it in five minutes! Thank you very much!
I have 2014 x6 but I don’t have the fuse map can you help me with it please
Saved me $$$$$$$2500 working now dealership said had to replace car was down through Christmas and new years much appreciated for your help man 👍👍👍👍👍
JUST HAPPENED TO MY X5 ..LUCKILY FAILED AND DID NOT LOCK CAR ......PHEW !
SEEN THIS VID..WILL TRY TO CHECK FUSE...AND IF IT WORKS.....YOU ARE A GEM !!!
WILL GET BACK WHEN TRIED...!
THANKS FOR VID DUDE ....
Just had mine do the same thing! Thanks for the great vid man! I was stressing. 🙏
Worked perfectly on my 2013 X5. It's the fuse box located under the glove box but you'll need the map and fuse tool located in the rear fuse box. Thank you for saving me from the dealer!
THANK YOU!
I just had the same issue and it worked perfectly!
Great post just worked for me! Really am happy, my fuse had blown, replaced and all works fine!
You just saved me! It was freezing and my E70 got the handbrake issue. I knee about the pull-wire-trick, but this trick of yours eorked perfectly. Last the same issue cost me about 700€!
+Antti Latvala glad it worked :)
This worked for me as well on my ‘14 5-series. Thanks a lot. I was on the road last night and got the warning on my dash and panicked thinking I would have to visit the service center and end up with a $5000 bill lol. All working as normal again. Makes me think to just keep some extra fuses in my trunk as a back up plan
Thanks for sharing, could you please share us where did you get extra fuses.Thank you in adavance.
thanks for even getting me to check my fuse box, was gonna pay around 100$ for a technician to come and resolve it, but knowing dealerships, they wont tell u its a blown fuse and will charge a stupid amount to fix it. so now its just gonna be a 10$ fix haha
Thank you, thank you a 100 times over as my BMW X5 was stocked in front of my garage for 2 weeks now. I couldn't even move it enough in order to bring my C8 for the weekend fun drive. After checking the fuse, problem solved. I truly appreciate this information. God blee you.
Glad it helped my friend!
Worked! Thanks - saved me $200! Good work! Keep it up
+NY RG Wkd!!
Thank you so much!! Worked perfectly!
Brilliantly done. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much mate! For x5 in the us, its a 30amp fuse at number 94. Solved
I had the same issue and could do it by following this procedure.
Clearing the codes, removing the fuses and resetting. Thank you very much.
This worked on mine too. Thank you so much man. Cheers!
Hey buddy, you just saved me allot of money mannn. thanks for this simple video
I had the same issue i did this and bam problem solved !! Bmw x5 model 2010
You saved me, mate. Thank you.
You beauty! I’ve just had parking brake actuator replaced, I wish I had found this beforehand… however it just happened again but this time the plunger didn’t work so I stumbled accross this! Boom! Great stuff thanks! (2013 X5)

God bless you for this, Dawg... beautiful saving video 👍
Watched your video. Unstuck my X5 manually, then pulled/plugged the fuse. No problems since. Fingers crossed.
That's what I want to do. I want to take the fuse out but no videos on it. In my state I don't need parking break
Pulling the fuse worked for us! Thanks!
Well done mate...thank you.
Thank you thank you... life saver...driving with the error on and off for months hopefully no more error for months

Thank you very much for your video ))) helped me also
Had this issue on Saturday in my 2013 X5 - handbrake stuck on. However shock horror I found that at a service or valet etc the red release plug had disappeared...... you only find out when you need it most. However even without that (handbrake was stuck on) I reset as you have shown and it worked again perfect. Used the handbrake a few times now in the last few days and no more issue. I have ordered the red handle from ebay and hopefully thats the last of the problem..... top man, thanks.
+Jonathan Turner great news. Glad it worked!!
Hi Everyone I have had this problem before and I thought it best if i respond on this site. And i feel this is the first thing to do is:
Look at your history of recent drives. Have they been short? did you use the heated seat? Has other little messages come up like the tyre preasure sensor failure? Ride suspention warning?
These are a clue to the problem is a not charged battery. The little fuse that Dawg mentions at the front does reset the problem but it kicked due to lack of power to set all the systems in the car.
I used a portable booster and keep it in the car and this works great. If your battery is old perhaps replace it for BMW one if you can they are a bit dearer but not a lot and they will code it to the car. So worth it. I hope this helps out people. Nick
This worked like a charm, thank you!

Awesome!!!! Worked for me!!
Thank you so much bro. i will try this on my 02 bmw 745li
Tom Ato did it work???
thank you!!❤
Wow top video. I'm going to try this 2mrw inshAllah 🙏
Excellent! I will try that mate! I sent you a message also under your other video if you have any more advice. Thanks
thank you. this saved me a lot of money :-) (BMW X5 e70 2007)
Which fuse is it? I’m lost I have 07 as well
Thnk's for this video.it work!
OMG!!! thank you!!! This just happened to me ! I followed your instructions about the fuse , took me like 90min to go through it to find everything _ im a 54 year old woman, I mean Im not stupid with cars, but not a mechanic by any means.So, it kinda had freaked out on the way to the gym when I accidently moved the stick to M/S , didn't think it would be a problem when I got back out of the gym, but it was!!! It was completely stuck, I tried your manual release, nothing, - but after figuring out your video - I did it!!!! ( in and out on with the fuse) ok, so now Im home, the yellow light is still on though, does that matter? Do I need to get a new fuse? Also, should I use the parking brake?
You are my legend ... my hero
It still works thanks👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
appreciate! I got same problem fixed by your video.
Glad it helped. If you feel like it you can buy me a coffee using this links www.buymeacoffee.com/DawgWillFixIT
Thanks
genius, its works, thanks a lot
It seems actuator lost stored info about start and end position hence the light. Hard reset - power pull can fix alot of issues similar to one above.
Good job 🥳🥳 zrobilem tak i dziala. Dzieki za pomoc. Pozdrawiam.

This saved me
Thanks!
Thank you I was stock in the parking with my husband, you save us from towing the car!!! Should we have that checked by the mechanic? Is it a common problem? Thank you! Cindy&Adrian from Costa Rica.
+Cindy Glez if it keeps happening then get its checked :)
Thank uuu 👍🏼
Just drove my son to school and as I was driving a "parking brake Malfunction" light popped up. Luckily I tried to put the brake on and off when I got home and it didn't get stuck. But will try this to reset that issue. Thanks.
Nice video I had problem with my 2008 750 li It was not reversing the parking break sign was on in dashboard . The fuses come loose or corroded it does fix the problem if the actuator is not broken. Even if that is broken just disconnect the cable from actuator now tie them together and take the cable / dog leash from trunk to front console and pull it to disengage or engage works fine don't need the actuator but it is better to fix it . The dog leash still stays available . Did like to make a bypass repair video but it takes about 1 hour.
worked like a charm, I did not have to remove the fuse. Thanks, saved me money. 2008 BMWX5
P White what did you do?
Can you please make a video on how to do this?
if fuse keeps blowing the internal electric motor has probably worn out it brushes down to copper holder/ springs, motor will run still (for a while) but draws high amps and blow fuse.... eventually the brush holders jam motor solid - so repeated fuse blow normally indicate a failing motor
Gary Wright which internal electric motor?
Hi baby, mbona kimia
thanks it was easy in less than 5 seconds
TRIED THIS SEVERAL TIMES UNFORTUNATELY DID NOT SOLVE PROBLEM 🙁....WILL TAKE TO MY MECHANIC WHO IS BTILLIANT AND HONEST.....A RARE THING LOL
STILL GREAT VID ....👍🏼
First off cheers mate it worked
Second off what’s to stop it from happening again? Any long term solution?
your an absolute legend mate.
+cihan v no worries. Glad it worked
Quick question! Does the car have to be on or off? Acc? Thank You in advance and cheers !!
thanks alot its working
Hi I really need your help please! Could you tell me if this will work on a bmw z4 e89 (2011)? I had a failure with the parking break but only the yellow P comes out. I can still drive the car, its just the ebrake does not work anymore, so when I park I have to put it into gear for safety. I would really appreciate it if you could help!!! THANKS!
+Rub Vel Hi this is exactly what happened on my 2007 x5. You can try and locate the fuse for it and give it a shot. Although I would have expect by 2011 bmw would have sorted this issues out. Your call.
your fix worked... you are a legend.
Wow! This just may be the solution to my problem on my 08 X5 3.0. Did you pull the fuse out with the engine running or just ignition on? How ling did you wait till you inserted the fuse back on?
Hey the car was completely off. But im guess the parking brake actuator is still powered. So pulling the fuse out kills the power to it completely allow it to reset. took the fuse out for maybe 10 seconds
Dawg Will Fix IT Pulling over as we speak to try this now.
I had to have the car ON to make it work
I have exactly same problem BMW X5 2010. called RAC he did exactly same thing release emergecy parking brake as shown in previous video. but exact same error message appearing I will try same procedure rather taking to BMW Dealer or electriction. However Need to find out exact fuse to pull out and put back in. do i need to turn on ignition while doing this procedure? Please advise?
Sadly mine doesn't work, I have remove all the cables and done a full inspection everything is working fine but I think so I need to go to the dealer for a reprogram the actuators.
My parking brake on the 2 series active tourer (F45 for usa) has a very similar problem. Parking brake seems to have failed. No error message. Pulilling the fuse triggers the error message. Putting it back did nothing. I replaced the fuse. Still nothing. No tension when pulling up, but when pushing down you can feel the tension. When vehicle is locked etc, the brake is engaged as I cannot push the car at all. Very strange.
PARK light yellow is staying on. No the regular parking brake with the logo and pads. Just said PARK, Don't go away. All other lights when out abs, 4x4, dsc, . This event occurred while driving, locks the parking brake and my wife has to use the emergency release cable in order to move the car. Smoky brake odor was coming from the rear barkes.
Thanks for your support. Easy peasy.
+Jose R Camacho Jose u can try the fix explained in the video if you like and see if that works it might do. The smokey brake smell could indicate a mechanical failure of maybe the brake actuator. Try the fuse first and see if that resets the parking brake. If not then u really need to get it checked out by a professional
Jose R Camacho same man
Didnt work for me.. my hand brake stuck while car was stationary ... then I was a video and found fuse 9 under glove box. It released the brake and I was able to move but yellow P stayed on. So I tried this but it has caused further issues saying 4x4 system failed and few other lights. Thanks anyways for help.
common problem for x5 had the same happen to me i just needed to clear the fault code and it started working again😂
Mine doesn’t have a p but is does have abs I pulled them all out lol waiting to put them back in atm bmw 750i 2008 e65 n62
your the best bro
Sweet. I’ll be doing this today. I’ll report back.
Worked on my 2017 X5 temporarily then stopped again twice. Im thinking mine might actually need an actuator
Restraint system faulty can you do a video about it has somebody shook my seat and it come on car a X6
I had the same problem today. I followed the steps youve shown in both of your videos. I tried to reset etc. but it didnt help what else can I do? Any suggestions? I can drive the car but it still shows the parking brake warning on the screen.
Did you figure it out
It works for our x5 as well! Thank you so much! At our x5 the parking brake was stuck, but after following this video no more. we still have the error that says: error in parking brake. roll away possible. How can we fix this error?
Yo need to clear the ECM codes with a scanner, recommend Carly
Thanks boss 👌👏👏👏
Should this be done before manually releasing the parking brake? Thanks
I think that’s what is exactly happening to mine to be honest gonna trying this in the morning fingers crossed hopefully works for me too
Good luck. Let us know how it goes
does this parking break issue occur regularly? if yes, i need to pull out the fuse (reset) everytime it happens? there must be something triggered the warning. my point is im just worried if there is actually something worst going on with the brake or electrical unit and it might cause more damage.
+Amirul Shah hey. It happened to me once only. After the reset everything has been fine. If the issue is persistent then u probably have a different issue triggering the failure
+Amirul Shah it could mean the parking brake actuator is faulty. So keeps failing. The reset helps get around a probable software glitch where the actuator freezes. This is my assumption
Nice video mate
When you pulled the fuse out what position was the ignition in ?
I am pretty sure it was; you could here the error noise in the background.
Dejame ver si entendi , quitaste el fusible porque se quemo y cambiaste por uno nuevo y se quito el problema ? Yo lo tengo la letra (p) en amarillo .
Thanks, very helpful. Just wondering though....🤔 Could the actuator be on its last legs? this putting pressure / resistance on the electric pump causing the system to trip out??? Just would like to know how long it stayed sorted for????
Not working on mine. Does the ignition/car need to be running? Changed fuse and nothing. Pulled manual cable up with orange tool and nothing. Stuck on drive can’t even get it to mechanic to take a look
Will try this tomorrow
My 2020 320i has the same problem. When I go over a bump parking light turns yellow, and shows “auto hold failed, parking break failed” on the screen. When I turn the engine off and on everything gets ok, and the warning dissappears.
What could be the problem?
Hi. Just wondering if this was a permanent fix for U? Doesn't the problem keep returning like in my case?
+Muzi Makhudu Hi Muzi. Since I did this I have had no problems. If it keeps happening maybe the actuator needs to be replaced.
Worked for me mate thanks
