The one part I need to get the airbag light off to pass inspection to register my car that was supposed to come today AT THE LATEST, didn't fucking come.
Fuck, fuck, fucking hell fuck everything!! I JUST WANT TO DRIVE MY FUCKING CAR AND NOT MY PIECE OF SHIT VAN. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK!?!?
And my dad bought it through his EBay account so I can't get the tracking number to see where the fuck it is in the world. A tracking number he claims doesn't exist. Okay sure.
A week for something overseas (England) to come via expedited shipping is BS.
But hey, my M3 badge is here, so that's something. No, not really, because it doesnt allow me to register the car!
Fuck I'm annoyed right now. It better be coming via FedEx or UPS and not the post like my dad says it is and there better be a truck in front of my house tonight delivering it.
Update: got into my dad's email. Found the receipt with the tracking number, on the last update (Feb. 14) it was in New York. I'm hoping that means it's on the road to here and will be here before the weeks over.

that has to suck. We don't have inspections in my state (thankfully, I would have to re-tune my ecu if they introduce inspections ).

Due time was today. Anything later is stupid.

what exactly is the part you ordered? most times the airbag light comes on you just need to disconnect and reconnect the seatbag (yellow) connectors under the seat and off the light goes

I'm assuming saying "Patience, young grasshopper," would not be well-received at this particular juncture.

Right about now I'm wishing we didn't.

You got it off ebay is your problem.

Remove bulb, profit??? It's Missouri, so worst case, you just find a shop in BFE that'll pass anything for a C-note under the table.

The sensor pad in the passenger seat is shot so we bought a bypass module that turns the light off and still deploys the passenger airbag. Cheaper and easier than replacing the pad which involves taking the whole seat apart.

I've waited 3 fucking weeks for a shipment to clear US customs from Berlin. Ultra fast shipping rate, and I was in contact with my reps at the shipping company who told me when it arrived and that there was nothing they could do until it's processed.

bet it's just a resistor in a box or something silly you could've mocked up yourself quicker

You can't just buy a sticker off a mechanic?

if you do that there's like a sexondary light in there that lights it up still. You have to cover something with tape and it's overly complicated.

What the fuck customs.
It's weird though because my M3 badge from Homg Kong came in a timely manner.

besides hooning, you're better off just driving the van in that weather anyways.

Take the bulb out from behind the dash panel and light goes away?
![]() 02/17/2015 at 16:11 |
|
There's a secondary bulb in there that keeps it lit and I can't take that one out cause it lights up other things.

Customs at NY/NJ was overwhelmed when my stuff was coming in. I don't think that's the case now but who knows.
No idea who the shipper was? Got a link to the auction?

No clue who shipped it or the auction. Dad bought it on his eBay account and I don't have access to it.

Saw that but wasn't sure if you had seen the actual auction or not.
Shit's beat, man. I hope it comes soon.

Hah, you got it from a UK seller? I'm pretty sure those are illegal here.
If you do install it, make sure you put a big notice on the dashboard saying not to put a baby seat there.

What's the part?

Your probably right lol. I had a resistor go bad in my E46 that made the AC fan go all wonky. $0.05 resistor inside a $400 plastic box!

Ah, yes. The perpetually incomplete project. I'm familiar with this.
