airbag question

blksab65 · 08-10-2012, 07:06 AM

hey does anyone know if a airbag plug is removed, then the light goes on, does that mean that all the airbags don't work anymore or just that one particular airbag? mine specifically is the one under the passenger seat. thanks! oh and i searched this topic and couldn't find anything

it's for that specific one. is it the issue where the sensor has gone dead? there is a ebay "resistor" type plug that cancels out the airbag warning. That solved my problem.

i bought a reset tool off amazon, it was i believe $40 and id didn't work for

... im so cheap i just opened my odometer and put some electrical tape over the light

bmw was charging $200 to reset it!!! i was just worried for my safety considering i don't have passengers as much as me, but no i unpluged it by accident when i was screwing around down there

Sorry, but highly unacceptable ghetto solution..

If the dealer is too expensive, you call around and ask indy shops.. Or you hop online and do some research.. There's tools you can buy online.. Have you looked up PA Soft?

ya i've heard of it but always thought it was for windows only and sadly i only own a mac now. i just bought the normal air bag reset tool but i guess its not compatible with my car even though it said it was
