1st when the
airbag light is on the system is disabled, so if u have an accident
they will not work, as to the common cause read below.
When
the airbag light is on 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 th clock spring contact, a coiled up ribbon electrical contact
that turns with the wheel

Check the wiring harnesses beneath the dash on the drivers side. You are likely to find something loose or broken.

Hello , check the airbag contact sensor behing the grill assembley . They are located to the left and right of the grill almost to the headlight assemblies. Check the wires to them for corrosion and damage. Check the fuse as well. There should be an air bag testing wire or fuse in the fuse panel. DO NOT UNPLUG THE AIR BAG SENSORS OR HIT THEM !!

Hello
When you have this many problems in the electrical system guessing is not an option as to the cause. You MUST have the BMW dealer perform a diagnostic scan of the appropriate control modules for fault codes, based on the symptoms that would be the SRS (Air bag restraint system module) module and the BCM (Body control module) module. This system scan for fault codes is the very 1st thing that needs to be done to find the root cause of these faults.
