SRS warning - belt tensioner driver's side

OK - Guys
So about a month ago the SRS warning sign showed up red and stayed on. At first I just cleared it - of course :bigpimp:
...but it came right back on.
INPA said something like: belt tensioner driver - resistance too high.
AKA loose connection. Looking under the seat everything looked nice and tight. I researched a bit and found that I might have to change the harness (problem regards early E46s, to mid 2002). Whatever - I wanted to go cheaper and easier so after a struggle in a tight space I managed to disconnect the harness. Measured the resistance while I wiggled it about. Seemed solid so I just sprayed all connectors with contact cleaner. Reassembled and Lo and Behold: After clearing the code it didn't come back and haven't in a month :thumbup: woohoo
Hope this might help someone with the same problem some day

I've just got this problem now too in my E46 M3 (attached below).
So i'm going to give your method a try. I hope it works for me because I just finished installing a new passenger seatbelt pretensioner now this light comes on. Annoying bullsh*t airbag lights. Sick of them.
Cheers man i'll give this a shot.
