Dash warning lights on and speedo not working.

Post by Moley » Sun Jan 29, 2012 8:19 pm

Hi everyone , got a bit of a problem with the X3 .

I was driving it today and the dash warning lights for the 4x4 , abs , handbrake and tyre pressure were all on, all of which were yellow .
Also the speedo was not working but the rev counter was .

Has anyone any idea what could be wrong and is there a fix for it ?

Thanks in advance Moley. :thumbsup:

ok I have found out that it more than likely that it is the abs sensor .

My new question is , are the abs sensors the same on the X5 and the X3 ? just before I go out and buy one .

Thanks again guys !!
