Fitting Sabelt Wheel, Any Help ?

[stuart1989]

Well i should be getting a Sabelt wheel this week, but what else do i need to have it fitted and working? Boss & PH1 stalk for the horn? Is that it?
Also does anyone around my area (Whitby) or Sheffield, have a clue with wiring, who could give me a hand, as i havent got the foggiest what im doing

Cheersss x

resistors for the airbag

resistors for the airbag

What about them? That was quite a brief reply there mate?

 

[Tom@JMS]

You need the correct ohm rated resistor to replace the airbag otherwise the service light will come on - I can send you some with it if you want?

IIRC they are £200 per resistor

Moved it to the right section, might get more response.

I just used some 3 ohm resistors from ebay, £1. Just a case of what you said really mate

 

[The Boosh!]

I will help you. dunno wtf i am doing though.

Yeah feel free to send me some if you can,

might have to budge on the price of them slightly

Haha cheers! I aint got a clue either, didnt really think this one through, just going to buy all the bits then find someone i can pay to fit it all i think

Don't worry about it, I'll throw some in

let me know how you get on with this as im getting a wheel soon?
anyone anyidea how easy it is to do the resisters and horn, do they all just clip together?

Not really. You have to mod the phase 1 stalk indicator cancel. You need the cancel pin from your phase 2 stalk, and put it in the phase 1. Not a big job, just a little fiddly. Horn wires up on the two outside metal pins of the phase 1 stalk connector.

You need x2 resistors, anything from 3-6 ohms is fine. About 25p from Malpins.

Sorry to hijack this thread. Once bought, which terminal do the resistors need to plug into? Also for the seats...

 

[ForceIndia]

The airbag plug. Ditto the seats. If you need help give me a shout, Redditch ain't far for me.
Edit: 182's have 2 airbag plugs for the steering wheel, so you'll need 2 resistors.

Will do so, or see Mr Fred at the same time? Bought a stash of 3ohm & 5 ohm just in case, just awaiting the buckets to be delivered.

How do u put in the resistors? Do you need to soldor them together? Same for airbag? Would be odeal if someone made a thread with pics

 

[the_prophet]

there is some pics in one of the previous threads that covered it.

no soldering needed, just bung them in and tape them up.

Yup, or put a bit of solder on the ends to thicken them up a bit. I think there was a picture showing the steerign wheel connection but not the seats... are these the same?

ahh rite,ive seaeched and searched n never found one. Any ideas how many resistors needed? And what abwt cruise control,just leave the wires behind ther ?

2 for the airbag if its a 182.

cheers mate,i am even more confused than before lol, mite look simple to some people but to me i dont think il have and idea how to do this on my own

 

[the_prophet]

ok,

when you take the wheel off you'll end up with the two wires and connectors (shown in the pic on that link) these were the old airbag connections. what you need to do is basically fold the resistor in half so you have the two metal legs running parallel to each other and slot them into the end of the airbag connectors as shown in that pic. they maybe a bit loose, if thats the case then either fold the ends of them over again to make them a bit thicker, or just tape them inplace. or a blob of solder if your a bit more capable.

this will stop the airbag lights coming on, the horn i cant help you with as ive not bothered with mine. eventually goin to fit a ph1 stalk but cba at the min.

 

[the_prophet]

oh and ref the cruise, unless you make up your own mounts for the buttons its not going to work, so the wires you can just leave tucked inside the boss somewhere.

thanks, il probly be less confused when i get the wheel off and see it infront of me.
so, when the wheel comes off, how many wires exactly will i see?is ther 2 airbag wires and a wire for the horn?
are the wires that come with the hub used for the airbag?

 

[stuart1989]

Right theres no chance in hell im going to be able to do this hah....


Anyone in my area fancy hooking me up?

 

[the_prophet]

yep definatley will be.

erm, mines probably different as i didnt have cruise but, you will have two airbag wires and a horn wire. all with the same sort of connectors.

with mine, a momo boss, i didnt bother using the wire that came with it, just went for the resistors instead, but i think you can use it, but you'll need to make another one up anyway so resistors are probably just as easy.

its honestly not a hard task, just make sure you dont let the little plastic disc behind the wheel spin round when you take it off....

If you get the right resistors then it will work. Ive mounted 4 push buttons onto my aftermarket wheel, shall post the results when its fitted. Shoult have full cruise control not that I use it lol

 

[the_prophet]

yeh thats pretty much what i said unless your able to mount the buttons from the original wheel it wont work. someones already done it on here.

Looks pants that way IMO :clown:
