Today my 90 740 drove well out to supermarket,but when I started the car to return home I noticed some of the orange/red warning lights on dash board stayed on entire 1.5 mile trip.I tried starting the car a few times once home with same result : some of warning lights stay on (battery,parking brake,washer fluid,burned bulb and brake failure).All the others normally turn off once the car starts,except the one for SRS that takes a little longer. The ones that stay on are not flickering; they stay on steadly although with a low intensity (If I apply the parking brake, light increases its intensity to under normal circunstances). What should I look into to try solve this annoyance?
Tks.

    Had the exact same symptoms - was worn brushes for my alternator. I'd start there, but it could also be a more serious issue with your alternator and charging system. I'd check the brushes and report back asap.

    Happy Bricking and Good Luck
