This has saved me. Was panicked when the parking brake failed out of sudden after I stopped my car upon reaching home and I couldn't drive the car anymore as it seems that the brake was already engaged though not showing light. After reset, it works again. Thank you so much!

My 5 year old got stuck with my wife near school, I got myself dispatched and fixed the problem with Your help, god bless you for your ingenuity and desire to help!! My steering wheel is on the other side though ;)

I will probably never meet you in my life, but you have proper sorted me out with this video. Thank you so much. 10 stars.

Today you saved me a few thousand dollars after the dealership told that I needed a parking brake EMF module needed to be replaced along with a new key fob , after watching your video I did exactly what you said and that was where my problem was, thanks for your video.

Happened to my friend's 2013 640i. Doing this fixed it. Thank you so much. Saved lot money, towing, time and stress.

THANK YOU!!! My 2015 X5 has had the orange light on for months. Not only was the light on, but the actual emergency brake was not engaging. The red light on the emergency brake button in the center console would not come on. Saw this video after getting a quote for a $1,900 replacement and I pulled out the 3 fuses related to the P, saw that they were all still good, and put all 3 back in. Started the car, lifted the button to engage the emergency brake and problem solved. Thanks for this video!!!!

JUST HAPPENED TO MY X5 ..LUCKILY FAILED AND DID NOT LOCK CAR ......PHEW ! SEEN THIS VID..WILL TRY TO CHECK FUSE...AND IF IT WORKS.....YOU ARE A GEM !!! WILL GET BACK WHEN TRIED...! THANKS FOR VID DUDE ....

Worked perfectly on my 2013 X5. It's the fuse box located under the glove box but you'll need the map and fuse tool located in the rear fuse box. Thank you for saving me from the dealer!

Saved me $$$$$$$2500 working now dealership said had to replace car was down through Christmas and new years much appreciated for your help man 👍👍👍👍👍

Fantastic! After two weeks of driving with the parking brake fault on my X6, I fixed it in five minutes! Thank you very much!

Great post just worked for me! Really am happy, my fuse had blown, replaced and all works fine!

You beauty! I’ve just had parking brake actuator replaced, I wish I had found this beforehand… however it just happened again but this time the plunger didn’t work so I stumbled accross this! Boom! Great stuff thanks! (2013 X5)

Thanks so much mate! For x5 in the us, its a 30amp fuse at number 94. Solved

thanks for even getting me to check my fuse box, was gonna pay around 100$ for a technician to come and resolve it, but knowing dealerships, they wont tell u its a blown fuse and will charge a stupid amount to fix it. so now its just gonna be a 10$ fix haha

OMG!!! thank you!!! This just happened to me ! I followed your instructions about the fuse , took me like 90min to go through it to find everything _ im a 54 year old woman, I mean Im not stupid with cars, but not a mechanic by any means.So, it kinda had freaked out on the way to the gym when I accidently moved the stick to M/S , didn't think it would be a problem when I got back out of the gym, but it was!!! It was completely stuck, I tried your manual release, nothing, - but after figuring out your video - I did it!!!! ( in and out on with the fuse) ok, so now Im home, the yellow light is still on though, does that matter? Do I need to get a new fuse? Also, should I use the parking brake?

Did this today. Pulled the 94 fuse & it started back working. All electronics need to be rebooted at sometime I guess Thx mate from Texas

This worked on mine too. Thank you so much man. Cheers!

You saved me, mate. Thank you.

I had the same issue i did this and bam problem solved !! Bmw x5 model 2010

Watched your video. Unstuck my X5 manually, then pulled/plugged the fuse. No problems since. Fingers crossed.

Hi Everyone I have had this problem before and I thought it best if i respond on this site. And i feel this is the first thing to do is: Look at your history of recent drives. Have they been short? did you use the heated seat? Has other little messages come up like the tyre preasure sensor failure? Ride suspention warning? These are a clue to the problem is a not charged battery. The little fuse that Dawg mentions at the front does reset the problem but it kicked due to lack of power to set all the systems in the car. I used a portable booster and keep it in the car and this works great. If your battery is old perhaps replace it for BMW one if you can they are a bit dearer but not a lot and they will code it to the car. So worth it. I hope this helps out people. Nick

It seems actuator lost stored info about start and end position hence the light. Hard reset - power pull can fix alot of issues similar to one above.

Quick question! Does the car have to be on or off? Acc? Thank You in advance and cheers !!

if fuse keeps blowing the internal electric motor has probably worn out it brushes down to copper holder/ springs, motor will run still (for a while) but draws high amps and blow fuse.... eventually the brush holders jam motor solid - so repeated fuse blow normally indicate a failing motor

Nice video I had problem with my 2008 750 li It was not reversing the parking break sign was on in dashboard . The fuses come loose or corroded it does fix the problem if the actuator is not broken. Even if that is broken just disconnect the cable from actuator now tie them together and take the cable / dog leash from trunk to front console and pull it to disengage or engage works fine don't need the actuator but it is better to fix it . The dog leash still stays available . Did like to make a bypass repair video but it takes about 1 hour.

Had this issue on Saturday in my 2013 X5 - handbrake stuck on. However shock horror I found that at a service or valet etc the red release plug had disappeared...... you only find out when you need it most. However even without that (handbrake was stuck on) I reset as you have shown and it worked again perfect. Used the handbrake a few times now in the last few days and no more issue. I have ordered the red handle from ebay and hopefully thats the last of the problem..... top man, thanks.

TRIED THIS SEVERAL TIMES UNFORTUNATELY DID NOT SOLVE PROBLEM 🙁....WILL TAKE TO MY MECHANIC WHO IS BTILLIANT AND HONEST.....A RARE THING LOL STILL GREAT VID ....👍🏼

Thanks, very helpful. Just wondering though....🤔 Could the actuator be on its last legs? this putting pressure / resistance on the electric pump causing the system to trip out??? Just would like to know how long it stayed sorted for????

It still works thanks👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Dejame ver si entendi , quitaste el fusible porque se quemo y cambiaste por uno nuevo y se quito el problema ? Yo lo tengo la letra (p) en amarillo .

Awesome!!!! Worked for me!!

Wow top video. I'm going to try this 2mrw inshAllah 🙏

My parking brake on the 2 series active tourer (F45 for usa) has a very similar problem. Parking brake seems to have failed. No error message. Pulilling the fuse triggers the error message. Putting it back did nothing. I replaced the fuse. Still nothing. No tension when pulling up, but when pushing down you can feel the tension. When vehicle is locked etc, the brake is engaged as I cannot push the car at all. Very strange.

genius, its works, thanks a lot

Restraint system faulty can you do a video about it has somebody shook my seat and it come on car a X6

does this parking break issue occur regularly? if yes, i need to pull out the fuse (reset) everytime it happens? there must be something triggered the warning. my point is im just worried if there is actually something worst going on with the brake or electrical unit and it might cause more damage.

@DawgWillFixIT

+Amirul Shah it could mean the parking brake actuator is faulty. So keeps failing. The reset helps get around a probable software glitch where the actuator freezes. This is my assumption

Didnt work for me.. my hand brake stuck while car was stationary ... then I was a video and found fuse 9 under glove box. It released the brake and I was able to move but yellow P stayed on. So I tried this but it has caused further issues saying 4x4 system failed and few other lights. Thanks anyways for help.

your fix worked... you are a legend.

thank you!!❤

This saved me Thanks!

PARK light yellow is staying on. No the regular parking brake with the logo and pads. Just said PARK, Don't go away. All other lights when out abs, 4x4, dsc, . This event occurred while driving, locks the parking brake and my wife has to use the emergency release cable in order to move the car. Smoky brake odor was coming from the rear barkes. Thanks for your support. Easy peasy.

+Jose R Camacho Jose u can try the fix explained in the video if you like and see if that works it might do. The smokey brake smell could indicate a mechanical failure of maybe the brake actuator. Try the fuse first and see if that resets the parking brake. If not then u really need to get it checked out by a professional
