Hey, sorry that my reply is years late 😉 I had the same problem, running BF3 through origin on PC. I realized that the problem was caused because I had mapped all prone and crouch buttons to a single "press for crouch/hold for prone" button. Mapping all the options for prone and crouch to separate buttons on the keyboard, fixed it for me. It fixed it because the prompt to prone would only go away after pressing the specific button for prone. This then allowed the prompt to press "E" to pull the wire out of the explosive device.
TLDR: Make sure that all crouch and prone keybinds are linked to a specific and separate key - then you will be able to fulfill the prone prompt and then be able to press E to disable the bomb (the box with the black wires drooping out of the front).
