Here's a procedure to turn off the airbag light on a 1998 BMW Z3:**
1. Locate the diagnostic connector under the hood of your vehicle. It's typically a 16-pin connector near the driver's side strut tower.
2. Insert a jumper wire or paper clip into the following two holes:
Pin 7 (Black/Brown) and Pin 8 (Black)
3. Turn the ignition switch to position 2 (don't start the engine).
4. The airbag light should start blinking.
5. Quickly remove the jumper wire before the airbag light completes the blinking sequence (about 5 seconds).
If done correctly, the airbag light should remain off. However, it's important to address the underlying issue causing the light to turn on in the first place. This could involve resetting the airbag control module or fixing any faults in the airbag system.
