Got a 325i Cab with the Check Control which is telling me my brake lights, tail lights and reg lights are not working when they are all absolutely fine...and all other functions on the check control work fine with no lights showing up.

Checked all the rear bulbs and they are clear and bright and also checked the connectors and they are clean, so no resistance/corrosion problem here -

any ideas peeps?

All associated with the lamp check module mounted on the LH side of the boot, so I would start investigation there.

Ok B - ive taken the carpet off in the boot and the sides but there is no relay box or lamp check module i can see on the passenger side - all i have is the electric aerial wires.

any assistance as to exactly where it is on the LH side of the boot??

If its what im thinking this module is tucked right up on top of the outer arch in the boot on the passenger side. slide your arm up in the boot and have fumble about.

this is a picture of it on my tech1 with the outer arch removed, hope this helps

It is in that location on my 320 touring, left hand boot flap, just above viewable level, near the rear washer fluid bottle...
