   I,m new to this, I wonder if anyone has any suggestions?
The front brake caliper on my E36 was binding. I replaced the caliper and both sets of front pads, However the brake pad warning light will not go out. Help please.

	It can take about an hour for the luight to go off, assuming you put in a new or undamaged sensor.

	Have you checked the Rear Brake Pads? From memory the Brake Pad Wear sensors are wired in series through the Left Front and the Right Rear pads. Hope this helps.
