Answer

Hi,

 

Right, so your brake pad warning light came on? You found a sensor broken and have since replaced it?

 

When you replace the sensors it is necessary to leave the ignition on in position 2 without the engine running for about a minute inorder to clear the light. Please try this and get back to us.

I don't think i'm getting through

Answer

I dont think you are. I've never seen a warning on an E39 dash that just says 'BRAKE' in red.
