2000 BMW Z3 Airbag warning indicator on and will not go out. Happened after passenger seat belt was jammed temporarily. Seat belt works OK now but light still on months after this happened. BMW dealer says will cost $600.00 to fix. Should I just learn to ignore the light or is there a cheeper solution?

    This may be because they are quoting you the seat belt tension, which looks like the female portion of your seat belt, but is actually an explosive component of the Air Bag system which pulls tight during an accident. It could be a broken wire and repairable, but this can be dangerous to test, as in rare cases test meters can deploy air bag components. Salve yard would be the cheapest. Do you remember what they quoted you?

There is a sensor right at the bottom of the seat belt, that sensor works hand In hand with the airbag sensor. The solution is to replace the whole belt

SOURCE: Where is the airbag sensor for BMW Z3 2.8l LOCATED???

Depending on which airbag sensor your after. There are 4 crash sensors on these. 2 in the doors for the side airbags, and the other 2 can be located underneath the bonnet. The sensors respond to the relevant airbag on the same side, i.e nearside sensor = passengers airbag, offside sensor = drivers airbag.

The main SRS control unit can be located underneath the centre console, thought ild add this in case you needed it!

Hope this helps!

When you consider that dealerships charge $90.00 plus an hour for labor and suggested retail for the filter is probably close to $20.00 and oil is around $3.00 a quart, even at Walmart, then the price doesn't seem out of line. Expensive cars require expensive maintenance. Wait until you need a brake job or one of those silly electronic gimmicks acts up, then you really will be complaining about maintenance costs. In the meantime find yourself a Jiffy Lube.

It can also be theseat motor since there is seperate motors for up/down & forward/backwards. You can test the switch to see if you are getting power to the connector on the motor by using a multimeter.

If there is power to the motor, I would remove the motor and give it a tap on the ground. Alot of the time the motor is fine, and the tap will free it up again. If it doesn't work you may be up for a new seat motor. Giving mine a tap solved the issue with mine.

My airbag warning light isn't coming on and it wont pass the nct.

It is a common Peugeot problem.
There is a connection under the drivers seat where the Seat belt pre-tensioner is linked in.
This connection needs re-doing.
You might get away with cleaning and reconnecting it.
If it is under warranty then Pug will take care of it!
If you have a passenger airbag there will be a similar connection under the passenger seat.

Does this happen when you put an item of some sort on the passengers side seat, that warning sign is for not having a seat belt on as the seats have sensors (this is on right hand drive vehicles, eg. Australia)

Cannot take off seats of BMW Z3

There are 4 bolts holding all car seats if you can get at least 2 off than you should be alright as long as you can squees a hacksaw or dremel to be able to cut along the seat rail that will remove the seat so you have access to the other 2.
