[QUOTE="infinityKL, post: 412992, member: 5054"] it was quite a nightmare when this switches fail.. i changed one at a time until everything was back to normal.. first the light switch itself as it was kinda losing grip, then the brake switch which was causing theproblem to be intermittent.. i suggest if ur mech cannot diagnose, just change both the switches to be safe, anyway this is a common problem wt the e36... very hard to pin-point the failure tho.. intermittent are usually electronics starting to fail.. WCS - someone has tempered the wiring, the burning smell is disturbing, knowing bimmers like fire ;) [/QUOTE]
