Driver's and passenger seats will not adjust nor will steering wheel adjust. (Mismatched jumper cables when trying to jump start car!) Checked fuses and only radio fuse was blown, which was replaced and is now working. Almost impossible to drive car now as the seat places me up agains steering wheel and headliner! It is a 1999 XJ* Vanden Plas.

there should be jump start lugs inside the hood area. At least the positive. The negative goes to the engine either way. If you are not sure, check the owners manual. they will pinpiont it. Without knowing your year, I cant look it up.

reconnect and the connect back the cabel joint under ther the driver seat

Very simple.

First hook up Positive Red and Negative Black terminals to the battery in the known good car. Then hook the Red terminal on the opposite end of the jumper cables to the positive Red terminal of the battery in the known bad car. Then, carefully, without shorting out the connectors, connect the final black jumper cable to the 'frame' of the known bad car.

Hope this helps.

When the airbag light (SRS) is on or blinks it means a fault has occurred in the system and the airbag diagnostic monitor has disabled the system, the most common problem that turns the light on is a break in the connection to the steering wheel mounted airbag, this is due to a rotating ribbon contact that breaks under the steering wheel that connects the airbag to the wiring harness and the diagnostic monitor, the part is called the clock spring contact, a coiled up ribbon electrical contact that turns with the steering wheel while maintaining a mechanical connection to the airgag mounted on the steering wheel, to replace this part you must disarm the airbag system and remove the steering wheel, this requires a special steering wheel puller tool and that you disarm the airbag system before you start the work, to do this disconnect the battery negative cable for 1 hour prior.

It would appear that the relay is misfunctioning. Try swapping one from nearby and when your car won't start but your seats operate then you'll know what to do. THanks, Dana

I had that problem. I have a 1997 528i, the plug on the side of the drivers seat under the plastic panel came unplugged. I had to just simply plug it back in, steering wheel adjusted and seat moved too. Maybe this is your problem too.

SRS stand for Supplymentary Restraint System, The purpose of the SRS light on your instrument panel is to alert you of a potential problem with your supplemental restraint system. It should blink seven times when you turn the ignition switch to ON or START and go OFF. A possible fault in the system can lead to any of the following: (a) The light does not come on when you turn the ignition ON. (b) The light stays on after the engine starts. (c) The light comes on while you are driving. Apart from the conventional causes of these faults (faulty airbag system), majority of the light indicator problem has been attributed to ignorance while fixing or repairing mechanical and/or wiring systems within the vehicle. If the SRS indicator light alerts you to a problem, have the supplemental restraint system inspected as soon as possible. If you ignore this indication, the airbags might not inflate when you need them. Likely Causes:

• Steering wheel modifications
• Faulty driver/passenger seat sensors for your airbag system (located under the seats)
• Faulty seat belt mechanism
• Tampered system components or wiring (e.g battery jumpering)

* Sometimes, a little adjustment of your seat belts and/or seat positions might fix the indicator problem over time (if the sensors are not faulty).
Precautions:

• Do not modify your steering wheel or any other part of the supplemental restraint system. Modifications could make the system ineffective.
• Do not tamper with the system's components or wiring. This could cause the airbags to inflate inadvertently, possibly injuring someone very seriously.
• Tell anyone who works on your vehicle that you have a supplemental restraint system. Failure to follow the procedures and precautions in the official service manual could result in personal injury or damage to the system.
• If all sensors are ok, the system can be reset using appropriate tools; refer to specially trained technicians.
