Airbag warning light does not come on when ignition key is turned on. I've never actually noticed it come on but was told when a friend drove it the other day that it should come on - where do I get this checked - is it a problem, should it come on
SOURCE: have a bmw z3 2.2l
another case of boy racer alarm problems ,this vehicle is fitted with a factory immobilisor ,if i wanted to steal this car the alarm wouldnt stop me i would just lift vehicle up with a flatbed breakdown truck and no one would even look twice .best deterrent is a krooklock on the steering wheel and keep the key seperate from the ignition key,most vehicles are stolen with a house break in for the key ,criminals are smart and know they cannot get past the immobilisor .also keep a spare krooklock key in the vehicle and do not tell anyone
If you can catch it failing again, test for power on the small wire going to the starter solenoid while someone tries to crank it. If you have no power, check for power at starter relay and trace backwards. If you have power, you have a bad starter. They can have intermittent failures. Hopefully your starter is easy to access, some 3 series and 5 series have the starter mounted under the intake manifold and it is necessary to removed the maifold to replace or test the starter. Good luck, hope this helps.
