E30 brake lining light

[6670charger]

Can't find anything on this issue without spending hours on the internet which I just don't have right now.

I have a small issue with my 88 E30 where the "check brake lining" light comes on once in a while, then goes off when I go over a bump. It's only an intermittent thing, however, I had the very same issue with an 89 316 sedan I had for a while when I was in Germany.

I assume this is a ground issue of some sort, but, it seems as though it's a common problem on these cars. Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

Eric

check the wire from the pad to the connector, maybe not correct installed originally and now you have a blank wire or almost broken.

OK, thanks. I assume it's some sort of ground issue as the light doesn't stay on continuously. It only comes on intermittently, and goes off when I hit a bump like railroad tracks, then will stay off for a while. I know the brake pads are good as they were just checked a few days ago by my indie when I had the front tires re-balanced.
