How Do I Get To The Main Drivers Airbag Connector?

[christurbo]

I need to get the main connector for the drivers side airbag so that I can slip some resistors in to turn off the airbag light.

I have tried the 2 x smaller connectors with no luck, so want to do it from the main connector.

Where is it and how do I get to it?

Found a pic - I take its at the back of the cowling???

Right found it and when resistors are installed the light is still there! grrr!

I think the only way to get rid of the light is to remove and cover up the light from the binacle.

Time to do a search on how to remove the dash!

easy to get the dash off mate

pull off the 2 dash inserts remove all of the screws (and the ones by the clocks)

then there is a black plug on both sides of the dash

use a fork to prise them off, just rember where they were or mark them

They're usually 3-5 mph out anyway.

Not in the wrong way though Lee, when the dash says 30mph I am actually doing 36mph!!!!! Doh!

I didnt remove the pass airbag ..... Is it worth doing? How heavy are they?
