Can anyone tell me why my Park light stays on all the time!! my battery
gets drained every two days now and it it’s the third new Battery by the AA
in about a year and half, they said they could not see anything draining
it, but I noticed this light on all the time now!! any clues how to make it
go off!! as usual which is supposed to be 15 mins after switch off
ignition, cheers

Thanks for the video.!! I got a 323i last week and the brake light was on I
did this to both sensors and now its off!

Stephen Beck says:

Ignition on without starting for about 20 seconds to reset, thanks man

MrOnevol says:

will this work on a 325 xi?

Jennies Garage says:

I think it’s a sealed transmission with no dipstick. To check the level,
you need to unscrew a plug on the side of the transmission and the fluid
level should be right there. Not sure about the power steering, maybe take
off a hose, start the car and let it blow out the old fluid while you add
new?

Cool cool, just go the back done and the light went off!! wicked, thank
you!!! Any ideas on checking transmission fluid lvl on a 2000 328i and
fixing a leaky power steering thing that takes transmission fluid? jackass
I got the car from put power steering fluid in it instead of
transmission…and it leaks….ugh!!!

great thanks

Jennies Garage says:

Glad you liked the video! I think the best bet for the check engine light
is to actually get it fixed, or a nice piece of black tape to cover it up!
Thanks!
