gouba 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2011 I have reset with a bit of wire before with no issues, seems like an unnecessary expense to get a tool to do it tbh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

polley 916 Report post Posted April 19, 2011 I have also reset my E30 a few times, also a E36TI with a piece of wire. Just make sure to double check you are connecting the correct pins. It's dead easy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

polley 916 Report post Posted April 19, 2011 If not, boom. I dont think it is quite as dangerous as defusing a bomb. If you dont trust your self, use a piece of fused wire. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
