I had exactly the same issue when I got excited with mine, general consensus seemed to be that it probably didn't matter, but I ended up doing away with the airbag before I found the actual answer.

Annoyingly all the Peugeot online documentation is done in line diagrams, so can't even see on there.

If you've got an aftermarket wheel, do you need the airbag connector anyway?

At what end have they come off? Did they come off in the same place as mine in that picture?

However they've come off you'll have an airbag warning light on as the airbag isn't present. Anything that looks like it might short out it's always worth wrapping in insulation tape do it doesn't.

had a stab at looking this last night.

Iv also cut my wires when I installed my aftermarket wheel

couldn’t get these resistors to do jack shit

Have not check passenger seat connection right enough.

My wiring stops at the steering column. Could I just put the resistor there instead of having to have said swirly switch wired up with a resistor on it?

p.s i have no airbags in my car, this new "law" is shite, although i will manage to get Rallye through Mot before march. My estate 306 in October will have same problem with light not coming on and going off.

managed to sort my airbag light
was my passenger side

used 1.8 ohm resistors

owain ; sorry couldnt see where wires went to that switch actully cracked mine trying to remove a black clip trying to take pictures of wires.

anyways my resistor is pluged ito a small brown plug as i no longer have airbag

it turned out to be the passenger side tensioner wiring that was duff.... put a resistor in there too and airbag lights now behaving its self
