Airbag light on, 94 325is
The Airbag light means the airbag system is inactive because of a fault
somewhere in the circuit. The computer will tell the technician where "somewhere" is, and he can reset the light, but there is no way to do a repair and have the light go out by itself, it must be reset. The typical service requirement is the seat belt retractor switch and/or the passenger front seat sensor. My '94 had the light on to alert me that the light didn't work. I don't quite get why they would turn on a light that doesn't work to tell you that the light doesn't work, but my mechanic reset the circuit and the light never came on again. I recently bought another '94 E36, and the light came on. My mechanic said it was a switch in the seat. He reset the circuit, and the light has not come back on. My guess is that your light just got a hair in its ass, and when reset it will remain off. > wrote in message ... > This car has never been in an accident, or even a slight tap on the frt., > but the airbag light is now on.
