    Crash sensors melted

    on my 1990 325i. SRS light blinks for a while, then it stays solid. The shop traced it to the crash sensors... they are both melted. they leaked tar through these tiny holes. I first noticed the problem after I unplugged the diagnostic panel (whatever it's called... has all the diagnostic lights on it)

    The shop suggested I leave it be, since it's likely related to an electrical problem that fried the sensors... Anybody experience this before?

    If the sensors are fried I would unplug the airbag harness's (above the kickpanel, all the orange connectors)

    just in case
