E36 airbag light issue

[KevinF]

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
