Recaros - airbag light

[Gav0896]

Have fitted recaros to my 172 today and after taking both seats out I noticed that a previous owner had been messing with the wiring as the seat airbag wiring had been cut and put into block connectors.

Anyway I have fitted the seats and installed resistors into the block connectors from the seat airbags. However the airbag light is on on the dash and does not go out. There is 3 wires for the airbags and I have connected resistors in the block connectors linking all 3 wires. Obviously this is wrong as the airbag light is on so I'm after advice on what way I should install the resistors.
Cheers

You should only put the brown & blue together through a resistor, the blacks an earth :dead:

Will try that thanks. I'm assuming if this is correct I will still need to get the airbag light reset from the dash?

have you put it on the seat side connector or the car side connector?

 

[Gav0896]

Car side

Airbag light now out. Thanks for the advice

what resistor did you use, ive had my lights on forever now lol

Just used 3.3 ohm (think that's right) from maplins

do you have to do the same with the gray plug?

my seat airbag exploded and i made it with both plugs, but it doesn't turn off that crap light, i think i need to change the airbag module, is that correct?

This info will come in very handy tomorrow. Cheers guys!

Is 3.3 Ohm what everyone uses ?
