The thing is i was a mechanic back in the days and i don’t like those kinds of fixes if you wanna fix it do it right because it has a reason it lights up. But if you just need to pass inspection and don’t have the money right now then it’s perfect. As long as nobody uses this and thinks its fixed or sells the car with ,, no problems’’ its great😁 Thank you for the amazing Video🤝
PSA: Removing this fuse also removes high beam indicator light and disables BC button from working(showing information on the screen or preforming a oil service reset) FYI little something I noticed dealing with the Airbag system light issue
Thanks for your extra information. Just purchased a car and all the above issues were there. Managed to dissamble the cluster and full teardown of the BC button without finding any issues.. Found this "no fix" but at least now i have replaced the fuse and can start troubleshooting and fixing the REAL problems.

The problem is (if you're trying to get your car inspected) the light has to come at first and then go out after a couple of seconds and any inspection shop will notice this. So, the only purpose for doing this fuse removal is if the light is annoying you.
BMW E46 3-Series: To get through an MOT with a red airbag light, I put the key in position 2, and removed Fuse 10. No rear parking sensors, but she passed the MOT. After the MOT, I put the key in position 2, and replaced Fuse 10.
NOOOOOOOOOO because the airbag light has to come on, then extinguish after 2 seconds, so if it fails to illuminate/ or stays on, then it's a FAILURE, as we do m.o.t's ourselves .
Airbag warning light indicate that something is wrong with your air bag system, could be a faulty wire or sensors that may prevent the airbags or seat beats restraint from activating in an accident. Don't risk your life and others the best solution is to find out the reason why the airbag check light is on. Best of luck.
Used that trick to get it through an mot a few years ago. To be honest the permanent fix isn’t that hard. It took me an hour to do it properly. I suggest you do that because your passenger airbag is unlikely to deploy.
I used a passenger seat mat emulator. Having said that,on another bmw I had it was just a lose connection on the passenger seat. It might be worth giving the connections a once over. I’d disconnect your battery before you start unplugging things mind you.
They only access engine DME module. They won't check your airbags etc. However, an insepctor that has a bad day or is very enthusiastic will notice, that there is no Airbag light illuminated on the cluster when keys are turned to final position. That can lead to failed inspection.
Smart idea but every shopguy notices if the lights in the dash doesnt working correctly.I suggest to go deeper and find out what it is.Security is important.Mostly its the Airbag on passenger side its the seatmat in there.
Doing this also disables your high beam light as well, my car failed its Warrant of Fitness as a result, so I would not advise it. The tool to reset it is only around US$20 or you can take it into any decent mechanic with an OBD scanner that can reset the SRS light.
Good evening from Greece, in case i want to change bmw e46 current steering wheel with an aftermarket (MOMO steering wheel), what can i do to disable airbag light???
i just received a recall from BMW for my passenger airbag. Not bad for a 2003 car! The light had turned on a few weeks before, apparently it can be dangerous to the passenger if it deploys!
it also turns of your lights on your dash for rear foglight and front fog lights , run the pa soft scanner and it comes back SRS not found tried it with INPA SRS not found took it to 3 different garages SRS not found
In my e46 when i do this, the airbag light goes off but the cruise control light appears and just stays there even if the cruise control is turned off... Already tried to take out the fuse of the cruise control and the dash fuse as well. Anybody knows how to solve this next level? 🤣 Or the real reason for the light to be on, in my car it appeared right after i took my car to a carwash shop, i guess they touched something they shouldnt....
Ciao è complimenti per i tuoi contenuti 🙏🏻 davvero utili! Ho una bmw e87 pre restyling del 2005 e spia airbag + spia fissa cintura passeggero, con questo emulatore risolverei da quello che ho capito, ma ci sono dei rischi? Potrebbero aprirsi gli airbag accidentalmente o con una buca o casualmente? La diagnosi dice che è solo il sensore del tappetino del passeggero, quindi gli airbag dovrebbero funzionare? Grazie
I took it out and turned it off, the airbag light goes out, but the autopilot indicator stays on and the controls on the lever don't work anymore to see the consumption, etc.
Depends where you take it, the air bag light has to do a cycle and turns off when the car is on, as long as the wof guy doesn’t check that it doesn’t turn of before the car starts you should be sweet haha
A much easier, quicker fix would be to put black tape over the light. Just borrow your neighbor's electrician's tape and cut a piece long enough to cover the little warning light. Be sure to return your neighbor's tape or he'll be mad at you. Next time you're at the store you can pick up a roll for a couple bucks and just cover up any lights what come on in the future. You're welcome.
if air bag light is red chances are its from the recall my 2001 325i had the recall something within the airbag restraint system that causes them not to deploy in an accident
When the vehicle is first started, the SRS light should illuminate for 1 to 5 seconds while the system goes through a self-test sequence. If the light goes out, then the system is ready. If the light stays on, there is a fault somewhere in the SRS system. The system is disabled at this point. In the case of a collision, the airbags will not deploy and the seat belts will not tighten, nor will any additional features activate.
I have a 2002 330i BMW. I removed the passengers doors regulator yesterday and disconnected the battery. I put everything back on and the airbag light is on. I done what you said on your video in don't seem too be working. Do you suggest any other methods of attempting to turn off the light?
It worked on my '96 BMW E39 523iA...I had 2 fuses for Air bag, 1st on position 40 and 2nd on position 42. I unplugged the one on position 40 and the light turned off.
It does no good pulling that fuse as it puts air bag light out and cruise control light on so your basicly swapping one warning light for another, am I right in saying this or is there a difference between UK spec and us spec cars?
if it is the seat occupancy sensor, then The Passenger Airbag wont Deploy. Stupid Idea from Stuppid People..... Never mess with Brakes and Airbags... but we see if natural selection kicks in here......

Very good video thank you very much I have tried multiple ways of fixing this I've changed the passenger side seat sensor module and everything else to go along with it nothing fixes it except taking the fuse out will allow me to go get a roadworthy certificate thank you very much
If you bought a decent OBD scanner such as foxwell nt614 or launch 8011 it will tell you the fault so you dont have to guess, it will then clear the code once the fault is sorted.
Exactly my thought. I was thinking why so many dislikes, its a great vid. Until I found out he doesn't put the fuse back lol. I tought taking the fuse out and back in would somehow clear the memory.
In Europe all the vehicles with more than 4 years, must be inspected. I don't know how it is in US. If you don't turn off the airbag light, you cannot circulate after the inspection.
Does it work for the door airbag either? I am struggling with this issue, it just appeared, I exchanged my airbag and was trying to delete the error, but it appears every time...
No no no you remove the dashboar clear cover and black tape the area where the warning light come off, you can also use black spray, not only solves airbag light but check engine and even brake light. problem fixed!
Just to shine some light on the last question, even though its been years since this video was published. When the airbag system has a malfunction that makes the light come on, none of the airbags will deploy. Removing the light from the dashboard by pulling a fuse out does not change it. None of your airbags will work with this “trick”.
Thank you someone with some general knowledge and common sense on here which cell constructive important obvious solution if the lights on in the first place something wrong SRS system which needs to be rectified or fixed every chance airbag won't deploy. it's not rocket science. I guess to get your vehicle through a MOT may help, or a dodgy person selling his car To another person
Haha you have no clue what you're talking about. If the airbag light is ON because of seat occupancy mat/sensor, and if you do what he did in the video, or if you forcefully delete the code. ALL of the airbags necessary will still deploy. same goes for you @manny singh
Thats cool mate. Thks 4 heads up... im no professional electrician or mechanic. Iv owned several bms over 25yrs an dealt with many faults. I actually own 2 535i Msport an e46 323i M too. An my previous e46 had airbag issues obviously we all kw hw 2 disable them or bypass an so forth but we all also kw that there is every chance wen indeed of them 2 deploy theres evry chance they won't deploy an im talking from experience bud. But u seem 2 kw ur shit. But jus 2 set things straight My aim wasn't merely to let and notify people on here that it's not worth tinkering with such systems and modules and sensors buy disconnecting soldering resistors to such and such blah blah blah underseat occupancy sensor disconnections this that and the other due to an evry possibility an dangers or malfunctions of srs systems especially on E46s with common electrical issues,so time comes when needed the the damn things don't deploy. Jus because u owned a BMW an was a cheaps scate who refused 2 buy parts for woteva fix fault etc. An in word's of bmw doctors utbe channel DONT BUY AN BMW IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR ORIGINAL OR GOOD QUALITY OEM PARTS FOR YOUR CAR then you shouldn't really be a owner of 1 looool

I removed it and replaced the fuse then i had my ABS light come on, handbrake light among a few other lights. Speedo and rev counter stuck half way, no power to my car (struggle getting up a tiny incline in first) no lights. Electric window and wiper where incredibly slow. I wouldn’t recommend it from my experience.
well this is not by any means permanent fix... however if the mot is coming up and you really need car for daily driving you want to do this... then put fuse back on once the mot is cleared and then fix the problem asap
@@e36fanatics One thing that I'm concern more are exploding airbags, check videos about exploding airbags.. Any time when airbag is activated, bag just explodes and some iron ring (shrapnel) with a bullet speed hits drivers in head, mostly in the eye, and kill them instantly..it happens even with new Takata airbags, but sometimes also if they are old, like mine is.. Ford, Mazda, Chrysler, Honda and BMW manufactured before 2008 are affected
@@e36fanatics You don't understand, it's malfunction, just check couple short videos on YT and see how dangerous is, it's literally bullet in the head instead of balloon :-) ..they recall 100 millions cars in last 5 years..for bmw, many models, serie 3 from 2000 to 2008 (I'm in).. On this site ( www.nhtsa.gov/recalls ) people can enter serial number to see if their car is on the list for any defects, if yes it's free of charge to fix it, I'll check my number later
i found out yesterday that my airbag light does not work at all. steering is moved from right to left and the car is really good from japan. BUT just doing this and selling car is the worst thing one can do, i have kids. i will find that fuse and hope airbag lite will come on and stays on unteel everything will be fixed.
3RV1NS Tv they will check it if is off, don t remove it!! Go to a random service and do a diagnostics, you ll pay like 20£ , the light will disappear and after go straight to MOT centre, because it is possible that the light to come back on in 1-2 days, trust me!

@@thatsaslow.e90 thanks for your answer another question my car I bought didn’t come with receipts would it still pass it’s inspection I don’t have airbags lights or check engine lights
There is also another annoying indicator. The brake pad indicator. Will you remove that associated fuse too? Please consider why safety indicators are provided.
Man, everyone that fucks with these old shitboxes keeps a eye their pads. Most enthusiasts that run the shit outta these cars wire the leads to the sensors together and it shuts the light off. Brakes for these things are cheap and since I usually replace pads and rotors together anyway fuuuuuuck it😂
That works quite well especially b4 MOTS but the problem is , as it's an instrument cluster fuse , the other lights that really matter don't function.... my car has not been involved in any sort of collision but I still don't know why my red airbag light is on... can anyone assist?....

Esteban1530blg yes when the fuse is back in then then the light comes back on.
Then you should probably do something about it without giving Lethal Tips to Amateurs.....
Man you are really perfect thank u a lot you solved my fucing big problem thank u again and I hope u see my comment ✌️✌️ peace
Sure it removed the aibag light but now cruise control light came up and doesnt dissapear, so its not really a solution.
Just to shine some light on the last question, even though its been years since this video was published. When the airbag system has a malfunction that makes the light come on, none of the airbags will deploy. Removing the light from the dashboard by pulling a fuse out does not change it. None of your airbags will work with this “trick”.
Thank you someone with some general knowledge and common sense on here which cell constructive important obvious solution if the lights on in the first place something wrong SRS system which needs to be rectified or fixed every chance airbag won't deploy. it's not rocket science.
I guess to get your vehicle through a MOT may help, or a dodgy person selling his car
To another person
Haha you have no clue what you're talking about. If the airbag light is ON because of seat occupancy mat/sensor, and if you do what he did in the video, or if you forcefully delete the code. ALL of the airbags necessary will still deploy. same goes for you @manny singh
Thats cool mate. Thks 4 heads up... im no professional electrician or mechanic. Iv owned several bms over 25yrs an dealt with many faults. I actually own 2 535i Msport an e46 323i M too. An my previous e46 had airbag issues obviously we all kw hw 2 disable them or bypass an so forth but we all also kw that there is every chance wen indeed of them 2 deploy theres evry chance they won't deploy an im talking from experience bud. But u seem 2 kw ur shit. But jus 2 set things straight
My aim wasn't merely to let and notify people on here that it's not worth tinkering with such systems and modules and sensors buy disconnecting soldering resistors to such and such blah blah blah underseat occupancy sensor disconnections this that and the other due to an evry possibility an dangers or malfunctions of srs systems especially on E46s with common electrical issues,so time comes when needed the the damn things don't deploy. Jus because u owned a BMW an was a cheaps scate who refused 2 buy parts for woteva fix fault etc. An in word's of bmw doctors utbe channel DONT BUY AN BMW IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR ORIGINAL OR GOOD QUALITY OEM PARTS FOR YOUR CAR then you shouldn't really be a owner of 1 looool
@@mannysingh8295 keep trying to convince me otherwise and angry-write with your broken English, I'm differently not going to read throug that crap. I know for a fact it'll deploy if the light is on because of seat occupancy mat being torn.
Mate not being offensive an im a 42yr born British Asian who attended from nursery to college.
Just to things straight an in perspective, not to argue or offend anyone but merely giving my version on subject an what worked for me an so forth. No drama thou. You stay safe an well ..
When I take it off, it brings up the cruise control light on
Hi I did remove the fuse and then the cruise control light comes on and airbag light goes off
Or you could take the car to BMW and ask them to fix the airbag fault. Over 300,000 e46 models were recalled due to an airbag fault
It’s weird, my seatbelt light comes on when I take out the #10 fuse.
I removed it and replaced the fuse then i had my ABS light come on, handbrake light among a few other lights. Speedo and rev counter stuck half way, no power to my car (struggle getting up a tiny incline in first) no lights. Electric window and wiper where incredibly slow. I wouldn’t recommend it from my experience.
I did this and it turned my cruise control light on permanently. Any way to remove that?
Just insert the fuse back on . Mine has airbag light too . I am cool with that
At MOT the check light must be on when you turn on the ignition...
Desconectandolo asi puedes pasar la ITV si no se te apagava ?
No, porque en la itv miran que se enciendan todas las luces y que se apaguen.
I have the same problem on my e46 coupe, can't wait to turn it off.. so airbag still works after removing fuse, is that for sure?!
No it may not work but who really knows because the air bags sometimes dont go off anyways
well this is not by any means permanent fix... however if the mot is coming up and you really need car for daily driving you want to do this... then put fuse back on once the mot is cleared and then fix the problem asap
@@e36fanatics
One thing that I'm concern more are exploding airbags, check videos about exploding airbags.. Any time when airbag is activated, bag just explodes and some iron ring (shrapnel) with a bullet speed hits drivers in head, mostly in the eye, and kill them instantly..it happens even with new Takata airbags, but sometimes also if they are old, like mine is.. Ford, Mazda, Chrysler, Honda and BMW manufactured before 2008 are affected
@@CarpeDiem23 i dont think you have to worry about that in bmw... The airbag will hurt but not kill you
@@e36fanatics
You don't understand, it's malfunction, just check couple short videos on YT and see how dangerous is, it's literally bullet in the head instead of balloon :-) ..they recall 100 millions cars in last 5 years..for bmw, many models, serie 3 from 2000 to 2008 (I'm in).. On this site ( www.nhtsa.gov/recalls ) people can enter serial number to see if their car is on the list for any defects, if yes it's free of charge to fix it, I'll check my number later
Thx for the trick it does work and my old e46 357 000 km had no problem at the technical control (no OBD test requiered for she is before 2004 )
Did the car die ?
357,000 is crazy
@@amdany1357have 286.000 km 330i e46 year 2000, manual 5 speed
Excellent. Thank you.
And if I do, the airbag work?
Hello. The airbag warning light disappears but the on-board computer shift lever no longer works. Has anyone else suffered like this?
I have done that. Air bag light turned off but for some reason autopilot green light turned on. Who can help
İt worked for me as well. But cruise control doesn't work now... ?? Any suggestions
I've done this and it puts on my cruise control light. 318ti e46
Thanks for feedback, ive also done this and everything seems to be fine on my 2002 318i
Yes, cruise control light turns on.. the car inspection was approved
Same here, did you solve this by now?
Yeah, because seatbelts are there for nothing...
My other cars don't even have airbags, who cares with 120kmpu speed limits.
Michael seatbelts realy helps when you getting hit from side
i found out yesterday that my airbag light does not work at all. steering is moved from right to left and the car is really good from japan. BUT just doing this and selling car is the worst thing one can do, i have kids. i will find that fuse and hope airbag lite will come on and stays on unteel everything will be fixed.
I tried but with this hack don't work also the indication of fog lights when are switched on and forward and aft which are used
have followed the same and airbag light disappear in my E46. hope it will not effect other operation in my car?
If i ll go to the Mot they will know that i remove it? Because i failed last week because of that light, thank you!
miRS _# i have the same problem. I did this and hope that i'll get through
3RV1NS Tv they will check it if is off, don t remove it!! Go to a random service and do a diagnostics, you ll pay like 20£ , the light will disappear and after go straight to MOT centre, because it is possible that the light to come back on in 1-2 days, trust me!
miRS _# oh thanks mate. I was about was about to drive it to MOT tomorrow.
miRS _# Listen...i came up with an idea..if i cover that fuse with something that doesn't let the fuse work when it's pluged in...they will take it out or no?
3RV1NS Tv
Pretty sure it wont...they look for light to function properly during prestart on instrument cluster
And for Abs?
Does this works for E39?
I got inspection due for my e46 will this pass if I take the fuse out ?
yeah it should man
@@thatsaslow.e90 thanks for your answer another question my car I bought didn’t come with receipts would it still pass it’s inspection I don’t have airbags lights or check engine lights
There is also another annoying indicator. The brake pad indicator. Will you remove that associated fuse too? Please consider why safety indicators are provided.
Man, everyone that fucks with these old shitboxes keeps a eye their pads. Most enthusiasts that run the shit outta these cars wire the leads to the sensors together and it shuts the light off. Brakes for these things are cheap and since I usually replace pads and rotors together anyway fuuuuuuck it😂
When I do that my cruise control light turns on. Is there any way to fix this?
mr. corsi same here
That works quite well especially b4 MOTS but the problem is , as it's an instrument cluster fuse , the other lights that really matter don't function.... my car has not been involved in any sort of collision but I still don't know why my red airbag light is on... can anyone assist?....
