If one of the two cigarette lighter sockets in your BMW 5 Series is malfunctioning, first check the status of the related fuses. As shown in this video, they are located in the fuse box inside the trunk, behind the right panel, and are labeled F61 and F82 for models produced until 2009, and F87 and F88 for models produced after 2009. The amperage is 20A regardless of the socket and production year.

In case of failure, always use a replacement with the same specifications.

Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
