Evening all,

I'm planning on fitting buckets on the weekend, but could really do without the airbag light blinking at me all the time. Can anyone advise what resistor I will need to fit to the underseat wiring for the seat side airbags, and for the seatbelt pretensioners?

Any links to suitable ones with the right resistance it would be much appreciated!

Cheers

I bought these, they work great.

Yeah I still have the passenger airbag wired in it works great, I also have a resistor for my steeringwheel airbag.

I just noticed this text when I bought this kit:

These are 1.8 ohm resistors .025 watt with a 2 amp fuse included, which gives a total resistance of 2.1 ohms, they are wired into the car to replace the missing unit to fool the airbag computer in to thinking that the airbag or seat belt pretensioners are still in place, which will stop the airbag fault light coming on and also allow the other airbags to operate normally.

Don't worry, they work

I've already got harnesses Manthos, but IIRC the new MOT regs state if the car was fitted with airbags from the factory, they must be present when the car is presented for test?? Meaning technically I'll have to swap the seats and wheel prior to every MOT...?
I mean I'm prepared to do this, but it'll be a ballache. Least with the resistors left in there wont be any issues with the seat connectors, I'll just bolt them in for the test and take them straight out afterwards...


Thanks for clarifying on the resistors Niw; I think a mate has a load leftover from his car, but if I'm still stuck after the weekend I'll be buying the ones in your link!

Not yet but i think its this April that comes into effect.

Had MOT yesterday no problem im told as long as there is no trace of airbags ie everything removed then if its not there it can't be checked just like if you take the rear seats out you will not fail only if you remove the seatbelts also.

Wouldnt be so sure. I was talking to my MOT tester and he was saying they are expanding the mot database so that there will be a record of what cars at what ages, had airbags and abs. Where you have cars that could have, say side airbags as an optional extra for example, these wont matter as this is done on a single car basis but if like the 306, all ph3s came with side, drivers and passengers airbags, they will all have to be there and working.

Also cant take the bulb out. They check to see if the light comes on for a while
