Re: How to reset brake pad warning light on ford transit
Replace the wear wires on the brake pads if the the rear not got 1 need to get a plug that just loops around so it completes the circuit and the light should go out

There is no reset. The front wear indicator is wired in series with the rear brake pad wear indicator. When the brake pad wears down to the sensor, it grinds away the wear sensor and the circuit opens. That lights the warning light. If the light is on, there's an open somewhere in the front or rear brake pad or wiring harness.
If you're talking about brake pads that have an electrical connector..
the warning light comes on when the pad is so worn that it allows the electrical connector to earth via the disk .. hence the warning light.
Fitting new pads will not cause a warning light on your dashboard. No reset required.
I think this is either brake fluid or washer bottle ,or handbrake warning light or brake pad wear warning light ,great motors a transit a real mans motor unlike these american pansies with autobox and whatever else .They seem to have a problem with our europeon vehicles as i dont think they are taught in a manual car
As the brake pads wear, the brake pad wear sensor contained in the brake pad contacts the brake rotor. This causes the sensor to fail. When a pad wear sensor fails it opens the ground circuit of the pad wear warning light system causing the pad wear warning light to illuminate. Perform normal brake service to correct this condition and be sure to replace the brake pads with pads containing wear sensors. Once the brake pads and wear sensors are replaced, reset the brake pad warning system by turning the ignition switch to the "on" position. As long as continuity to ground exists through all the brake pad wear sensors the system should reset and the pad warning light in the dash will go out. If the pad warning light does not go out, a check of the pad warning circuit for an open circuit condition or poor ground must be performed.
I dunno if this will work on your BMW, but on my BMW Z3 and M3, it was....
Turn the ignition key to position 2, but do NOT start the car. Wait for
about 45 seconds and the brake warning message will be reset.
If it doesn't reset, then the brake sensor was damage. You will need to replace the brake sensor. It sounds like you replace the brake right after you saw the warning, so the brake sensor should be okay.
