2008 135i safety belt replacement -- new belt lacks wiring?
Hi all.
I find myself having to replace the front drivers' (left side: I'm in the USA) seat belt. realoem.com shows the BMW part number to be 72112996151, and photos on ecstuning for this part number appear equivalent to what I have in my car: a black safety belt with wiring to connect to [something]. ECS Tuning unfortunately claim that the part I want is no longer available. They point me instead at part number 72119114287 -- a beige safety belt with NO WIRING. I'm confused about the disappearance of the wiring from the left-side front safety belt. It seems to me that if I pull the existing damaged belt (belt is fraying & on its way out) and swap in the new one which lacks the wiring, I'll get some sort of error on the dashboard about a faulty seat belt. I'd like to avoid spending $200 to trade one problem for another. Can anyone explain the disappearance of the safety-belt wiring? Will the non-wired replacement safety belt cause the car to throw another error at me? Thanks for any information. |

2008 135i safety belt seatbelt replacement followup
Just following up, I ordered a replacement left-side (US Drivers' side) seatbelt for my car, BMW item number 72112996151, and installed it yesterday. I did the whole process with the car switched off, and was NOT given a seat-belt error code when I did eventually start the car.
In the past I mistakenly disconnected a seatbelt wiring harness while the car's power was turned on, and I needed to erase a seatbelt/airbag trouble-code, which was a PITA. So: keep the car switched off when you're replacing your seatbelt. And thanks once more juld0zer, for giving me good information! |
