    E46 seat occupancy sensor question

    Airbag-light is on and diagnostic says it is the passenger seat occupancy sensor. If I find a used seat, will it work if I just replaced the whole seat?
    Will be a lot cheaper and easier.

    Hello and welcome to the forum! You can do that, but there will be the chance that the replacement seat's sensor will go bad as well. I believe the sensor is ~$100.

    Go on eBay and find a seat occupancy sensor bypass. It is the cheapest and easiest route to fix the issue
