RE: E36 airbag light issue
Cool, thanks. What type of resistors? Like what value or ohms or whatever they're measured in?

RE: E36 airbag light issue
Measure the resistance of the original seats if you still have them and post it up here, I've a selection of resistors here I'll post you one of the correct value if you measure it.
RE: E36 airbag light issue
Thanks Lads. I dont have the seats still sadly but thanks anyway. If I fond out the correct value I might give you a PM though
Gar, that night just be the job. Not a clue how to wore it up and dunno if I should be letting this guy wore it as he has offered???

RE: E36 airbag light issue
So these are the 2 wires in question.
Is the emulator Gar posted a simple, hook it up and the light goes off or what's involved? Will it work?
Thanks again,

RE: E36 airbag light issue
On my e46 the airbag bypass was a plug and play jobby, you should have a connecter originally on those wires before ye cut them?

So where do I go from here anyone?
RE: E36 airbag light issue
That bypass is nothing fancy just a resistor in a little box with a connector to suit the car. Of you buy one of them just solder the 2 cores directly onto the connector.

hey Kevin do you have any to suit an e 46 by any chance? my passenger occupancy air bag light is showing up every now and then

I have a full selection of resistors here but I don't know the value of resistance that the ECU is looking for from a healthy airbag. If you can find that out I'd have no problem sending you one one to suit.[emoji106]

ok cheers I will ask uncle Google and see what he says

RE: E36 airbag light issue
I think it's a 100ohm resistor and a diode by the looks of things on google. Although you might want to check that.
RE: E36 airbag light issue
As far I can see, those two wires were connected not to the seat itself but to the seat belt lock, so its mean if you will have still the other seat , just swap the seat belt lock thing and you are sorted. I had exactly the same issue.
the light its not because airbag itself its for seat belt tensioner.
i had the same when i swop my seats in my e36 .
If you in Dublin you can pop in to me and I will connect to my laptop and delete it for you. (free of course)
I tried resistor (which I still have) and didn't work.
you can PM if you need.
RE: E36 airbag light issue
Hey Ghostek, only seeing this. I'll PM you now, that would be great. At this stage I just want to get it all sorted and NCT'd and be done with it and start saving and deciding on whether or not to do a conversion or tune and turbo it or what.
