- Hey guys, so in this video I show you how to fit 2 resistors that will get rid of the airbag and seatbelt warning lights. These resistors were £13 on Ebay....BMW wanted £3995 to repair this 🙈. Hope you enjoy and find the video useful, as always comments and questions are always welcome! 👍
Hey everyone, here is the latest type of resistors as of 21th October 2022 just double check on the ebay store that it will fit your car anything before 2006 shouldnt be a problem.......

Brilliant video. £11 vs £3000+ from BMW. Unbelievable. How on earth will they justify the cost of the repair?!
@Rob Isaac.. Thank you mate 👍🏻. I know I couldn't believe it when they told me that, they wanted to replace the whole seat 😬
Awsome video mate aye have been binge watching your stuff keep up the good work and looking forward to more videos.
Hi Matthew, thank you for your comment and kind words. Pleased to hear you're enjoying my videos mate. I have a parcel shelf restoration video coming out tomorrow you'll have to check that out I was really impressed with the results. Take care duddy 👍
@@TheBimmerFixer yeah really good videos mate I just painted my wing mirrors today. Turned out brilliant thanks to your guide.
@Matthew Barnes Thats awesome! Makes it all worth it when I hear things like that.
Hi thanks very much for this video!! I have the connector on eBay but how many will i need? It says 2 on your description!! Thanks in advance
Hi Stacky, you're welcome. Yes iv come across this before, when I saw that last it was referring to one for the seat and the other for the seatbelt sensor. It's just one for the seat though. Have another look at the discription and see if it says anything about the seatbelt sensor. If you get stuck let me know and we will figure it out 👍
@@TheBimmerFixer Hi mate i noticed your car is left hand drive, are there two seat emulators? one on the drivers side and one on the passenger side, as i have the same problem with the airbag light on my BMW E60 the light came on when my wife adjusted the seat into a deck chair lounger and didn't how to raise it back up. many thanks.
Hi mate, it looks left hand drive in the video but its actually right hand drive may be a camera thing lol. There is one warning light for both sides, you would need to used a diagnostic tool to determine which one but going off what you said it sounds like the wife's seat whoops 😂. Hope this helps and thanks for your comment 👍
@@TheBimmerFixer Thanks for the reply mate, very helpful .
Please can you give me the link to buy the resister thank you . You are so good .
@Official Samuel Kwok Hi Samuel, all the links are in the description. If you have any problems with the links please let me know.
Hi,
Great video! That sounds like exactly the problem I'm having with my E60. I've got a 2005 520D. Do you have a link to a suitable listing for the product I could use?
Thanks

@@TheBimmerFixer Thank you! I'll let you know how it goes! 👍🏼
Restraint system airbags seat belts all came ON on my car this morning, i have a BMW 520d 2008 auto, i took the car to the local garage they asked me for £1500 to fix the problem, I don’t have that amount of money to spend atm but id appreciate if you could tell me if you had the same problem in your car as mine, and where did you buy that part and also what is it called.. is it safe to drive it as is until after holidays? Let me know please,, thanks
Hi Adrian, yeah that's exactly what happened to me. I would guess the same thing has broken on yours but you would need a fault code reader to be sure. Also you might need the code reader to reset the warning lights. I have a video on a really good cheap code reader, have a little look at that too. That said you might be ok and the lights may turn themselves off after a few miles of driving. To answer your question about being safe to drive, if its the same fault I had then I would say yes as the air bags will deploy regardless if there is a passenger or not in the case of a accident. The parts you need are called..... Bypass For BMW 5 Series E60 Passenger Seat Occupancy Mat Airbag Sensor Emulator.... pop that into ebay and just follow the steps in the video and you should be good to go. If you get stuck or need any help just let me know. Good luck 👍
@@TheBimmerFixer thanks for the reply buddy, i will check that on Ebay now and follow your video try and fix it myself, I can’t believe a faulty cable so small and so cheap in Ebay and yet BMW garage wants £1500 plus VAT to fix it.. its bonkers.. 🤦🏻♂️
Its shocking isn't! Iv found that happens a lot they must make a fortune! Its like servicing BMW wanted £450 for a service I brought the parts and oil all bosh and GTX oil for £60.
Where can i get them or what might they be called ?
You can get them on ebay, if you search for "Bypass For BMW 5 Series E60 Passenger Seat Occupancy Mat Airbag Sensor Emulator" it will bring up the one I used in the video. Hope this helps and thanks for the comment 👍
Had my 1 Series seats shampoo yesterday and this is my issue now.
@Aiyic Oh no! Are they heated too? If they are don't turn them on for a few days. With a bit of luck they will dry out and all will be ok 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Hey, awesome video. I got the resistor but can't for the love of me get the wires into the plug 🙄 any suggestions. As I've already snap the end off the red wire 👌
Hey Bee Jon, thank you for the compliment and comment. Hmmm thats interesting it should just slide in and click into place. I would just double check that its the correct hole and see if you can see a obstruction in the plug itself the old one may have broken off inside the plug. This definitely does happen trust me 🤦♂️ Good luck and let me know how you get on, we'll come up with a plan B if you can't get it in the plug. 👍
@@TheBimmerFixer Thanks I just have to try order another resistor 1st 🤦♀️if I can find another one as the listing I used last time is no longer available 😂
Oh no what a pain! Let me know if you get stuck finding one 🙂
@@TheBimmerFixer will do. And thanks 🙂
Hey, just a quick update. After butchering my resistor (red wire) 🤦♀️😂 my mate managed to repair it 👌 and I am pleased to say that it's now in place and working. It's only turned the airbag light off but definitely a start. Reason being for some reason I don't have the second part on the seat (the bit that doesn't connect to the yellow casing) 🙄 literally had my seat out 😂 but wanted to thank you for your help 😁
Hi just had this problem come up on my E60 can you tell me what resisters I need from eBay please cheers great video
@Donna Hester Hi Donna, there should be a link in the description with everything you need but if it doesn't work let me know. Thank for the feedback too!! 😁
Hey, do you remember if u had any fault codes come up on the issue on the car. Been struggelig with the airbage and the seatbelt warning light since i bought the car. Havent tried your ebay resister yet but will sure do.
@mathew5732 Hey, I can't remember the codes themselves but I remember it saying passenger occupancy sensor and passenger seatbelt tensioner. 99% of the time its the resistors that I change in the video. The lights should go out by themselves or sometime you may need to erase them with a cheap code reading tool. Hope that helps 👍🏻
@@TheBimmerFixer Thanks, ill check it later today
@mathew5732 No problem, good luck let me know how you get on 👍🏻
Just had a tester conected and i got 5 fault codes.
98ED: open circuit, firing circuit, thorax airbag, rear right.
98F8: open circuit firing circuit, saftey battery terminal.
98AC: system time fault.
991A: battery lead (shield): open circuit.
9913: seat-occupancy detector, passenger:open circuit.
Ive thought the car was crashed before i bought it after doing alot of work on it but it wasnt mentioned in the sales. Got everything sorted expect from this airbag problems cus i just dont have rhe knowladge. If these faults gives u any clues idk..
@mathew5732 Ok mate. Have the codes been delated before and come back? I'm hoping some are old codes.
I’m having a issue at the moment with my e60 lci ,my son was sick in the car and it went down the side of the passenger seat where the seatbelt buckle is , and I’m now getting a seatbelt and airbag light on the dash aswell as a seat restraint fault message on the I drive ,do u think the connectors just need drying out I checked the fuses and they seem fine ?
@jamiedavies8795 Hi Jamie, sorry to hear your son was poorly in the car. Yes that should be the case of letting them dry out. They may need a bit of a clean with some electrical contact cleaner and an old tooth brush. The warning lights should go out after that and after a little drive. Hope that helps.
Thanks for your quick response 👍🏻
I have a 2011 bmw 528i it wouldn’t let me use my radio it’s saying driver and passenger resisting and the air bag and seatbelt light is on
Ttx for the info.....
You're very welcome 👍👍
Thanks!
@Richard Rogers You're very welcome and thank you for the comment.
@Richard Rogers Hi Richard I have just seen you gave me a SUPER THANKS!
Thank you so much that is greatly appreciated!! 😃😃😃
I changed my passnger side seat ,my car is a pre lci M5 and the I replaced it from a LCI M5 , the new seat is in really excellent condition , but the car is throwing 93AA belt tensioner code. can you suggest what should I do to fix it ?
@salmaniftikhar6583 you should be able to get an adapter with a resister in it like the one in the video on ebay. It will be a case of unplugging the connector from the seat belt tensioner and putting in the adapter. You may need a scan tool to reset the light if it doesn't go out on its own. Hope that helps a but.
@@TheBimmerFixer bro can you share me link of that connector . I will try to buy it , ebay doesn't work in my country. It will be little difficult to get that. Should i change my new tensioner which came with the seat with the old belt tensioner , will it fix bro

@salmaniftikhar6583 I would but its a ebay link so probably won't load or work. I think changing the belt tensioner is a brilliant idea! That should work! The car will think the old seat is back in 👍🏻 let me know if it works bro! Good luck!
@@TheBimmerFixer I will definitely let you know if it works , i hope it works
Will any resistor work? Which should i buy?
@CJmontage101 Hi, not every resistor will work I just made sure the one i bought fitted BMW. Link is in the description if you wanted the same as me.
Can’t locate the rear resister on BMW e60??? Installed the one on the yellow block??? This is a us speced car
Did you end up finding it? Can’t seem to find it myself either.
Hi, thanks for the video, would you mind updating the link to the resistor, it's not working, thanks.
@Tidal Hi, thank you for letting me know! I will update it now! Thanks again! 👍🏻 😊
@Tidal Hi, the link is all updated and working now thanks again.😊
@@TheBimmerFixer Thanks very much.
If you order 1 does it come with both of the items in the picture or do i need to order 2? Sorry im dumb
Hi Masen, it should come with both. It might be worth double checking with the seller as sometimes they can word it as if you will get both but only send one part. Oh and you're not dumb! 😊👍
Do you plan on doing an egr delete on the car? It’s supposed to be great for the car I was wondering how to get round the EML warning ⚠️ light for MOT purposes could that handheld device you have map out the EML light?
Thanks,
Graham
Hi mine has just started intermittently doing this not all the time just now and again. I have no warning until sometimes someone gets out the passenger seat then after I get the passenger restraint system warning and my seatbelt light stays on but once I turn car off and back on its fine and with no seatbelt warning any ideas or just possibly same issue. Cheers Eddie
Hi Eddie, I have a subscriber that had the exact same issue as yours. He had it for about 3 months, it didn't get any worse and the lights never stayed on all the time but he did the fix anyway because it annoyed him. That solved the intermediate fault 👌 Let me know if you get stuck and how you get on 👍
Ok brilliant thanks for your time I'll let you know how I get on 👊.
You're very welcome Eddie 👊👍🏻
What’s the name of the diagnostic tool to delete the code?
@cebertgrant9577 I used the C110 👍🏻
What about lci models?
@jakubluszczak2748 Should be the same I haven't heard of them being different 👍🏻
I know it was a while ago but do you have the ebay listing or description to buy the parts needed iv looked but to no joy 😕
@Darren Parr Hello Darren, the link to the resistors is in the description, if you can click on that link and that will take you to the page on ebay. If you have any problems just let me know.
Cheers pal just need see if they do it for my 1 series 👍🏼
You're welcome mate 👍🏻 They should do but if not give me a shout and I'll have a look too.
Just got this fault after getting some lads to do tints on my e60. Wtf. Im a dumbass for not mentioning it to them on completion.
@Filthy Rodriguez Hernandez No way! Sorry to hear that! Hopefully it's not going to be too much trouble to get it sorted!
Have you got a link for the resistors as of now mate ?
@Diary of An Afro Hair Transplant... Sorry about that mate don't know why it wasn't working. It wouldn't let me put the link here but i have updated the one in the description. Let me know if you have any trouble.
@@TheBimmerFixer thank you mate link is working
@Diary Of An Afro Hair Transplant.. Thank you for letting me know mate 👍🏻
What resistor did you youse
@Keith Murphy Sorry not too sure on the strength of the resistor as it was incased with the adapter in the kit.
Please can you send me the ebay link to the resisters thank you
Hi, it wont let me put the link here but the seller is SRSDRIVE and the item number and title is

Bypass For BMW 5 Series E60 Passenger Seat Occupancy Mat Airbag Sensor Emulator
Hope this helps.
@@TheBimmerFixer thank you for responding I've just ordered it will it need clearing with a diagnostic tool or will the lights go out after installation itself
Do you need to disconnect the battery before installing
@@kaler329 Hi Ash, its probably advisable to but that said I cracked on with it connected and had no issues 👍
Hi, I will buy One like that, I diagnose the Car and I find this: belt tensioner front left resistance too low, and nr2 I have: passengers seat mat occupancy right side.
For the passengers seat this bypass will work like your I will think, but what about left side driver side belt tensioner? Please help me. I need to get the car back on road. Because every 2years control for the car, and I can’t drive befor I fix that problem. I have same car like you 530d 2004. Thank you
Hi Shewaaan, you may need to buy another seatbelt tensioner on its own without the occupancy sensor and replace that too. That should solve everything for you. Its just a repeat of what you'll need to do with the other side. If you get stuck let me know and I will try and help you. 😊
@@TheBimmerFixer Thank you for quick answer, I just buy the car with that problem and have drove the car after I get it home. It’s beautiful car, so I would love to get it ready. It’s that white one I have on my profile picture.
I was thinking about one thing, what about I buy kit for passages side bypass and only that seat belt resist that you put in the yellow box with 2 cables for the driver side/left ? Since the seat belt cables go into that yellow box, it sound like it will work you think or I’m wrong ?
@@TheBimmerFixer and one more question😫 I’m not sure which is belt tensioner, is that on side you put the belt inside or it’s that part the belt is on/close to the door ?? I get very confused, when I search for belt tensioner it come pictures of both.
Hi Shewaaan, that's ok no problem. Yes that would work 👍 To reset the lights you may need the c110 scanning tool. It might be work getting because if you get other lights come on the dash you'll be able to see why.😊
Also Shewaaan your car looks beautiful!! 👌👍
Hi mate great vid, do you have a part link for e60 Bmw 5.23i..
Hello mate, thank you! The link in the description should be the correct part. If you have any issues just let me know 👍
@@TheBimmerFixer oh silly me 😅, 👍
🤣🤣 no worries 👍
@Brown Geezer01 Hi, yeah this should get rid of the seatbelt light by just changing the part. The airbag light should go out after a short drive. Let me know if you get stuck or have any issues 👍
@@TheBimmerFixer great, did you use scanner after you fitted both to clear them for good?
Where did you get the resistors
Hi, there is a link in the description. I updated it a couple of days ago 👍
hi i want buy a connector givme please link on you buy thanks?
Hi there, here is the product I used in the video. Good luck if you need help let me know il be happy to help 👍www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161357843343
Does this work on driver seat, i have a problem in my comfort seat on e60, it warns airbag in the headrest, is this the solution?
@Ledzends Hi, I think the problem you have is a little simpler. If it's the headrest you can be pretty sure the wire going up to the headrest has broken, it just needs reconnecting, the only issue is finding the break. In the e90 it's always in the middle and you can remove the back of the seat to get to it. In the e60 im not sure if you're able to remove the back of the seat. I can have a look into it for you, because it would be good to know myself.
@@TheBimmerFixer Please take a look and tell me, thats what my friend told me also, but its kinda hard even to find to open the headrest, these comfort seats are really complicated
@@TheBimmerFixer i just need the starting location of the cable so i can find where its broken
@Ledzends I would start at the bottom of the headrest as I bet the break is not far from there and all you need to do is reconnect the wire. I found a video where someone unclipped the top half of the back of the seat and that would reveal the wire perfectly. If you search for e60 front seat disassembly it should come up.
@@TheBimmerFixer can you please send the link?
I pulled the dash gauges and put black tape on the lights covered them all
I’ve did this and I haven’t had any car problems since🙏🏽
good video!
I'm having the same lights on my 316d e91 but don't really know what the fault code is. Is this the most usual fault or could it be something else?
I will try to do the same as you tho, do you know were i can find the parts to e91?
All the best
@Ludvig väpnare Hi thank you! So yes this is the most common reason you get those lights on the dash and for the price its definitely worth doing. The best place I found was actually ebay there are plenty of the resostor kits on there just make sure it's for the e91 👍🏻 Hope this helps. Let me know if you get stuck or need help.
@@TheBimmerFixer Thank you so much!
So do i need 1 kit or is it One for seatbelt and One for airbag?
@Ludvig Väpnare You're very welcome. So the two parts you'll need are the resistor for the occupancy sensor and the resistor for the seat belt. Sometimes you have to buy them separately but most of the time they come as 2. If you click the link in the description that will show you what they look like but just make sure you get the e91 resistors 😊👍🏻
@@TheBimmerFixer thanks mate,
Ordered a kit now!
@Ludvig Väpnare your welcome mate, let me know how you get on 👍🏻
I have a bmw e91 320D touring ive got this airbag and seatbelt error do i need this?
Hi Anthony, I cant say iv seen the airbag and seat belt connections on the e91 but I think they are slightly different. But the principle would be the same. If you look online/ ebay you'll see the connectors and resistors on there. When I last looked they were slight more expensive but there seemed to be more that came with the kits for the e90 and e91 than the e60 and e61. Hope this helps if you get stuck give me a shout 👍
@@TheBimmerFixer thanks very much i will look on ebay now and the follow
your guide
You're very welcome Anthony!
@@TheBimmerFixer ive found one for ££32 if it wasnt for you doing this video i wouldnt of known very greatful :)
Thats great! Once you fit that it should turn the light out after a little drive. If it doesn't you might need a scanning tool to turn it off. You can use a C110 scanner they are about £35 on ebay but try fitting the resistors first and see if it turns off itself 😃👍
Where you buy the resistors.
I bought these on ebay. I will try and find the link for you 😊
