Inspection Lights
« on: July 19, 2007, 08:23:09 PM »
Under the spedometer theres a set of lights that go from green to yellow to red, for the past month its been on yellow, and a few days ago it went to red.
None of the drive has changed, i was just wondering what those lights are connected to and what would make them "alert" me?

SI (Service Indicator) lights. They come on at regular intervals. Search for a thread on "reset SI lights" or "reset service indicator lights".

I found that short cut to re-set the lights yourself.  Have to look for the file I sotred it in, i'll post it whe I find it. http://www.unofficialbmw.com/e36/electrical/e36_reset_service_lights.html
Okay I think this the same site I found it.  try this.

Those are oil service oil lights. They will usually come on after you change oil and so on. If they come on check oil and fluid levels just in case, but my friends are on and they wont go out with out being reset
