My e30 has the check panel. All the lights are constantly on with the "check" light on the dash. The car doesn't have any OBC fitted and I used the reset tool but that didn't work.

How do I get them to go off? I've checked the fuses in the engine bay and they're fine.

Sorry if this topic has been brought up numerous times before. I've had a search on the zone but every time you try to go back to the search results after looking at a post you have to repeat the whole search process. :mad:

Any help would be appreciated.

Do the bulbs for the license plate, rear lights, dipped beam all work? engine oil fine? Coolant, squirty water stuff full?

Strange that its all lit up. I have a spare if you want to pop it in and test the unit. 2 miles from Brands Hatch.

May also want to check that the "Check" button on the panel hasn't got wedged on or something silly like that.

I've seen some neglected e30's before, but never one that genuinely had a full house tho!

Ha ha. It does my head in when i'm driving in the dark. The button feels like its working fine. I'll pop the panel out and have a look at it guts. The levels are up to scratch.
