I recently replaced the seats in My 318is and in a rush to get the job done, I snipped the 2 wires running up into the seats from underneath. The new seats are Vaders and don't have anything to connect these to.
What way can I get rid of the airbag light that's now on the dash?Ni heard someone say to use resistors but what value? Also do I need it coded or whatever to get rod of the light after that?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
Cool, thanks. What type of resistors? Like what value or ohms or whatever they're measured in?
Anyone??????
Might be of use http://www.adverts.ie/5359591
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.
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???
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,

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?

Shit...Woops.
So where do I go from here anyone?
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 thenQuote:

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]Quote:

I think it's a 100ohm resistor and a diode by the looks of things on google. Although you might want to check that.
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.
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.
