SRS light

[Kalevera]

Just had the SRS light go on a couple of days ago. Took it to the dealer today for a reset and was told there was a "hard fault" and I needed a new SRS Control Module. I can get the part from BMA - are there any precautions I need to take when replacing it? It sits under the rear seat in my '95 540 and I don't want to trigger anything by doing something careless. Will I need a light reset after replacing the module?

Thanks, Jeff

Jeff, disconnect the battery and wait a good 15 minutes prior to doing anything with the SRS system.

Replacement of that box is relatively straight forward. I think you may need the hollow tip torx bits, though. T25/T30, something in there. Can't remember at the moment if it's held in with a hex or the hollow tips.
