Hi there all :jaw-dropping

I have got an E36 325i on a 1994 and keep getting the Air bag light on the steering wheel coming on and off all the time whilst driving.Sometimes it stays on and other times it stays off but keeps on flickering on and off most of the time......

can anybody help me out....

You really need to get the codes read, Unfortunately there is no way round it apart from having them scanned, It will most likely be either the slip ring at the steering wheel(Squib/drivers firing circuit) or the drivers pre tensioner/seat mat(It could also be passenger but most of the time it's the side that gets used most).

i think you are right Ronnie about the slip ring as it comes on when i turn the steering wheel a certain way....

thanks for the advise...

i will get the codes first i think....


keep up the good work.....:hihi

Welcome Damien,
When the airbag light comes on it's because the airbag module(computer) has picked up a fault in the system, The only way to find the fault is to put the vehicle on a scanner and read the codes, any good independent should be able to do this for you, They should also then tell you what work is involved to fix the system

Ah cool, the guy I bought if off says something about the rear passenger seat sensor, thing is, will the airbag still work?

ps, I've left a post in the Intro section.

The airbag will not work most likely and there is no sensor for the rear seats.

Right on the money :cool

But the impact sensor in the airbag control unit hidden under the rear seats may be what he was talking about??
