resistors for after market seats

[powey]

Im going to be fitting recaros with harnesses so looking to remove the airbagged seats and pretensioners

Any ideas where I can get the appropriate resistors to do the job?

3.3 ohm resistors from maplins. need to get myself some this weekend too.

 

[DamoWales]

Any chance of a walkthrough of how to do this?

Need some for my RS seats in DCi.

Thats what comes up when searching maplins for resistors

 

[maynard]

not sure where they are on the site, they defo sell them though. that's where everyone on here gets them.

Powey i'l see if i can find any, if i do find any I'l post a link on here!

If you find any could you do the same please budd!

Bump to this...

Where do you put the 3.3 ohm resistors ?

Is this 100% what i need to buy.

On the point of resistors, what ones are needed for the steering wheel airbag? Might get this all sorted this weekend as im fed up of the bloody lights on the dash!

True, I've fitted seats to mine and did a search, Theres loads of posts but not one solid how to.

A stickied solid "How to" in the tech section would be a major help.

Does anyone have a resistor I could buy!?

PM me please!

They cost pennies fella from Mapplins or a electronics supplier.

Any specific resistor I need!? WTF is a resistor lol!

This is the part i'm trying to work out....... we need a specific size ( resistance ) to fool the ecu that the airbag is still in place.

Have'nt spent too much time on it, But i'm guessing that we will need two per seat... One for the seat airbags & one for the belt pretensioner.

Later on i want to remove the steering wheel & passenger airbag .


Resistor.......Looks like a grain of rice with coloured bands on it, The colours give it's resistance value.

No offence, but are you really at University?

We used 3.3ohm in Jamies. They're about 10p each from Maplin as above.

Piece of piss to fit in & secure with some electrical tape. Job done.

Awesome

So that's 3.3 ohms for each device. One per airbag and one for the belt pretensioner ?

Is it the same resistance needed for the steering wheel and pass airbag.

Ive got access to a scan tool and so can knock off a light if needed. But if anybody can give a solid answer to it all it will help others.

Thanks for the info.
