Hi Stanlee. Your vehicle is equipped with a Battery Saftey Terminal which is part of the positive battery terminal. If the airbag deploys it can cause the terminal to blow. Look at the positive connection at the battery and if it is separated, it will need to be replaced.

You'll need to take it to a body shop and have the airbag replaced and have inertia switch reset.

SOURCE: clicking noise when trying to start car,battery is ok, wont start

That Clicking is the Battery causing it not to Start. You need to Replace that Battery or at Least put a Charger on it for a Couple of hours to see if you can Salvage it for a While.

SOURCE: bmw e36 328i cuts out at idle,wont krank,runs rough at idle.

The battery could still be bad and if you don't have a totally good battery in the car it won't run right. Take to one of the parts stores and they can check it for you for free. Probably as simple as a battery.

How can i fix if faul code er 77 , large circuit resistance triggered patron side airbag on the left side.I have tried to pull out contact on the ECU but no results.

Each manufacturer has different reset procedures if you can't take it to a garage and reset by odii ecu computer routes.forums for your make and model will suggest something similar to leaving the driver door open and then hold the courtesy light switch at the bottom of door before turning on ignition.turn on ignition one click but don't start the car.then release and press the door light switch say 5 or 6 times within ten seconds on the last count hold it in and turn off the ignition.close door then start car.sometimes you need to experiment as the number changes with different models.my car resets on 7 presses and I have to close the drivers door and open passenger door before I start car.

How do you reset the Service light on 2006 BMW 325 xi, it stated service was due for brake fluid flush, we did that but the service indicator is still on

Hi , to reset the service light you will need to insert the key and turn the ignition lights on but do not start the engine. you will see a push button on the lower left side of the instrument panel press and hold this until you have a triangle appear which then turns to the brake warning symbol , release the push button then press and hold the bc button in the indicator arm until reset appears , release and again press and hold the bc button until you have a moving clock symbol appear , release the bc button and wait for the display to change , once this has reset turn off the ignition and the service symbol should have reset . you may want to print these instructions before resetting , regards Mark.
