- In this video we go through the replacement of the brake light switch on my E32 to fix a "Brake Light Circuit" error. The same part is used on the E30, E31, E32, E34, E36 and Z3.

Génial !, bravo pour la réparation elle est vraiment magnifique ta 735il 😍😍👏👏.
Merci!

Awesome
Great instruction! Thank you very much!👍🏻
Thanks!
I thank you very much and follow you from Iraq and I own a BMW 735
Just watched this video again because I am going to replace the brake light switch in my 525 E34.
Since I first got the car every time I press the brake pedal "Kein Bremslicht" signal appears but the brake lights are working. In the forums, I read that the brake light switch needs to be replaced.
However, I am not sure if it will help, because it happens only when the headlights are on (low beam/high beam/parking lights). Some suggest to disconnect the headlight vertical movement controller, but they also work. I decided first to replace the brake light switch. Then will see.
Toujours intéressant !
Merci!
Utile à savoir le jour ou... Surtout la bague rouge. Très bien réalisé. Merci. Surpris du nombre de choses à démonter la-dessous 😊 Tu vas la connaître de bout en bout 😅 comme je connaissais ma Golf GTI 1 - 1800 vert Lhassa de 10 1983... revendue vers 2016. Bonne continuation et bonjour de Bruxelles.
Merci! En effet au fil du temps on développe un bon bagage de connaissances lorsqu'on travaille sur la même voiture. Mais je ne voudrais pas prendre le crédit car je dépends énormément du manuel Bentley et des ressources en ligne. Je traduis seulement le tout en format vidéo!
Effectivement sans le Bentley (que j'ai trouvé en digital, il fait plus de 1000 pages(!)) on aurait difficile 😅
A l'époque de ma Golf j'étais AUTOdidacte 😉
Des capsules vidéos bien utiles pour ceux qui ne l'ont pas en tout cas !
Hello, thank you for this video, easy to understand.
I have a question: when you shift the rear gear I noticed that the rear part of the car raised, it happened two times. Is it normal for E32? or does it happen because of the automatic gearbox?
Glad you liked the video!
Yes the rear raising and lowering as drive or reverse is engaged is normal. From what I read online, it's related to the torque being transferred to the rear wheels as the driveline is engaged but the brakes are applied.
My E34 525i is equipped with automatic gearbox and I have the same rear-raising moment. So it should be normal then. I just asked you to make sure that it is not a failure of the rear axle. However, one of my friends has a Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W221) and in his car rear does not rise when he shifts the gear. I just wonder how Mercedes engineers managed it. I was going to install polyurethane silent blocks to somehow limit this rise. Then I thought that, in that case, the polyurethane silent block will not damp transferred torque, and what if this undamped torque damages the gearbox?! In the end, I decided to keep it as it was - with rising back
My 735 says this error but i have brake lights working properly... any idea?
The switch seems to fail sporadically. For a while my car also had working brake lights even though I got the message. Then the lights stopped working. Some people claim that aftermarket (non-Genuine BMW) bulbs will cause this error, but I'm running aftermarket bulbs and they work fine. If I were you, I would try replacing the switch.
My 95 525i has a same message on dash and lights are working but bulbs are non oem but maybe the bulbs are higher in wats
I would not bother taking the switch out neatly. I wasted a lot of time trying to take it out neatly. Grab a pair of pliers and take it out. Save yourself a lot of grief.
We each have our ways of working, some are more gentle than others :D What counts is that the switch comes out and that the bracket does not get damaged.
