Maplin airbag resistor help please

[MrBlonde]

Cool,did you have to clear the code with a reader or did it just go? @LeeRS

 

[LeeRS]

Nope, it just goes. Well in fact, never seen it come on.
Is it on solid at the moment?

 

[MrBlonde]

No mate,just comes on now & then.

 

[LeeRS]

Ah right. Is that without resistors it does that?
Mine had a little flicker to start with but i skrted that by doubling over the ends of the resistors so to get a better contact. Have been fine ever since.
If you know anybody who has clip, they can be turned off properly.

 

[MrBlonde]

It has them in mate,maybe there not strong enough or i need to redo them so contact is better.

 

[LeeRS]

Yeah i 99% would say thats the reason. Did you double over the ends or just push them in straight?

 

[MrBlonde]

Clipped them down & done what you did mate,i'll just do them again & all should be fine i reckon

I'm goin to be having this issue I'll calibrate the steering sensor but I have no idea where to get the resisters from as maplin are not open anymore

Does anyone know of anywhere else cheers

Hi mate. Where are you based? I can turn the airbag light off using the software I have. I charge £20. Much better than the resistor bodge!

I'm in east Sussex

Have sent you a PM as you are not too far from me.

Is there anyone close to Swindon with a clip that can turn off my airbags for mot?

 

[VenomUK]

So I've popped some 3.3 resistors into the rear seat belt connectors as since taking the back seats and belts out of my 2002 172 PH2 the service light, and airbag have been on.

Am I correct in thinking that the resistor straddle the plug creating a circuit because the service light and airbag light haven't gone out. Or do I need them turning off with a diagnostics?

They go out when the circuit is complete. Triple the resistor legs over

I'll give that ago this afternoon. I've still got the rear belts, I'll snip the plug off and wire up the resistor and plug it in and see how that goes.

I wasn't sure if it needed resetting or something?

 

[VenomUK]

So I tried this after work and the lights are still on. Any advice please as I’d like to get the car down for an MOT soon.

I don’t think the rear seat belts had any wiring to do with the airbag light?
I think it must be something else.

They do on certain cars mate.
You can have the lights turned off with clip or RSTuner but resistors complete the circuit and should work too. You must have an issue elsewhere

If you're anywhere near Bradford I can have a look as I've got an RS Tuner mate

Unfortunately I'm not, appreciate the offer though but I'm all the way southwest in Gloucestershire.

My 197 has. I removed the rear seats/seatbelts, leaving light on dash. Being very delicate, it was difficult to get good fit, so I used the ends of safety pins into the resistors to help with good contact, taped up, and no problems since.

Yes i know 197/200’s have but didn’t know 172/182’s did (as per the latest question).

Sorry mossy, I misunderstood.

No worries matey I hope your Yellow monster is still going strong
