SOURCE: Air bag light blinks

In most cases this is caused by a defective rotating clock spring contact to the airbag from the steering column, the system is then disabled by the airbag diagnostic monitor until the system is repaired

SOURCE: Air Bag stay on BMW Z3 2003?

There must be a problem with the air bag system for the light to be on, if the system was o.k. the light would be off and have a stored code. You cannot reset this light with a generic obd2 scanner. You need to access the air bag system and read what codes it has stored. Good Luck.

SOURCE: 2003 vw jetta air bag light stays on

You need to either have the dealer reset it or you can do it if you have VAG-COM. Vag-Com is a piece of diagnostic software that uses a special cable to hook up to your car. You can read/clear codes among a ton of other things. It's very common for VW guys to have. Much easier than going to the dealer if you can find someone close to you. The guys over at www.tdiclub.com are always more than willing to help out a fellow VWer. There is a list of guys with the software - you can actually do a search to see if there's anyone near you. www.vagcomlocator.com or go to www.tdiclub.com

SOURCE: hi i have a 1998 BMW 323is. the air bag light will

I did the same thing. I am told you have to take it to the dealership or similar to have them reset it with their diagnostic tool (call first, the might no do it or might charge for it). Possible a local garage will have one that is compatible. I have a friend at Goodyear who tried it, but their diagnostic tool was not capable and he recommended the dealership.

BMW rear left hand side tail light and flasher not working also drivers window not working

The electric window could either be the fuse,switch, or window regulator motor at fault..Sometimes the window motor electric plug can vibrate loose or become loose from door slamming..Also the switch can become loose as well or contamination if you are lucky..You will have to remove door panel to inspect these components..and fuse panel..The light could be a faulty bulb..Check and replace bulb..before involving the signal indicator switch lever...If bulb is at fault go ahead and change bulbs at both rear sides..Do not try to repair signal switch because of air bag..If you can hold down on the turn signal switch and it works the switch is at fault...

My window on my bmw goes down a qauter ways and it gets stuck and dosent go down all the way how do you fix it

Window regulators in early e46s are notorious for failing. If this is the first time it has failed, you must not use your windows much. Many of them had all four of their window regulators replaced before they got out of their original 4-year warranty.
Replacing it is not difficult, but repairing the broken plastic piece by wrapping a couple of zip ties around it is much easier and quicker and very cheap. The driver door in my wife's '04 330 has had zip ties in it for a couple of years and works just fine.
You will need a Torx head screwdriver set to remove the inner door panel. You pry up the trim strip starting at the rear to expose screws, and there are more screws beneath the mirror switch and below the big door handle. Be sure to disconnect the battery several minutes before removing the air bag, and handle the air bag carefully. It can hurt you. DO NOT connect the battery and test the repair while the air bag is disconnected or you will need to pay someone to reset the airbag (SRS) warning light.

After changing the front seats in a bmw mini cooper, the red air bag light remains permenantly on.....how do i turn it off?

Hi, BMWs have a history of showing unnecessary light alerts on the dashboard ...especially if they have outlived their roadlife. You need to check is there is any opening in your airbag windows...if none, simply ignore it....it will turn off itself with time.
cheers

Disconnect driver side air bag to work on power window

The side impact air bag in the door? Unhook the battery. Wait 5 minutes, then unbolt it and unplug it. It will be fine. Don't hook up the battery with the air bag unplugged to test the window, it will set a trouble code and the air bag light will be on until you go to the dealer and have it reset. Just make sure before you hook the battery back up the airbag is bolted back in place and plugged in.

Recently the electric window winder on my BMWZ4 drivers dide was replaced.Since this has happened my airbag light stays on.Could this have been anything done during the winder replacement.

Hi , does your car have a side door air bag ? , if so this would have to be removed to replace the window mechanism and the ignition has probably been turned on with the air bag disconected so the air bag control unit has reconised a open curcuit fault, the warning light will stay on until the fault memory has been cleared , hope this helps , regards mark
