This thread went from, "please help with my 328" to "get your boot and bonnet shocks here".

All the best with getting your 328 back to its former glory Rash, they are awesome cars!!

Globes fused ?...OR globes not fitting correctly in their sockets, thus bad contact....or brake pedal microswitch disconnected/faulty ?

Your key battery might be flat, or it has simply lost its coding with the cars system,
If it is the coding, then Youtube will show exactly how to re-initialize it...it is an easy DIY...search "BMW Key initializing E36" on youtube

thanks Ralf.... the light on the rear window works when you press brakes just the taillights don't... will check what you suggested....

when I press the key the light does come on ... but will replace the batt and try the initialization.....

much appreciated boet... :clapper:

So the problems are not so serious
The light clusters at the rear are notorious for loosing connectivity with the globes, so if your window light works, then it means the system is good, and is only related to the globes/earthing etc

If the remote light operates, then no need to go down the very expensive road of a new battery etc, but it probably only needs to be coded with the car
