Steering Wheel/Airbag Question

[mnetwork]

I'm about to get a new steering wheel because I am so tired of this big ### 2g wheel. The only thing is I don't want my SRS light to come on. Does anyone know how to rig it so that it doesn't come one? I searched for this, but it didn't come up...

Take out the bulb. That would be the easiest way. As soon as the car has battery power and see the airbag is unplugged that light will come on and you can't turn it off. I'm sure there is some way to wire something in to fake it out but it doesn't seem worth it unless you are going to be putting the old wheel back in some day.

Actually people put a resistor (have not done it, can't tell you what size either) in line after the airbag is removed. But yes, removing the light is the simplest way.

I want to keep the light so that I can still have the passenger side monitored. There has to be a resistor or something you could put inbetween the two airbag wires to trick it. I just was wondering if someone has done it. Momo sells a hub/srs delete kit, but not for our cars.

Yeah, I just want someone who has done to tell me what size resistor to use. Someone here has had to do it.

I guess I could just measure resistance between the two airbag wires on the stock airbag and then get that size resistor? Sounds like it'd work right?

A friend of mine has the Evo 6 wheel in his Eclipse. Looks very nice, Momo of course and I don't believe that he has the SRS light on. Not sure which route he took though.

i was about to get a new wheel for my car,
never thought about the srs light till i saw this thread,
thanks for that

Be careful!!! When YOu measure resistance, your meter sends some electricity between probes, to check resistance. I'm not sure if it won't deploy airbag
Just be careful!

I was actually thinking the SAME thing two days ago. I had an idea to extend wires to the airbag and do it from a distance just in case...

i would just take the bulb out if the resistor was to go out over time the light would come on, so if you take out the bulb you will never have to worry about the light coming on again

for the talon and eclipse i do believe it is a 2.2ohm resistor but double check and measure the ohm resistance

Hehe. Yeah. Good luck. Let us know what happened

I took the SRS ECU and the SRS bulb out.

I will.. waiting on my new steering wheel to come...

I tried measuring the resistance of the airbag yesterday. The multimeter showed .4 ohms.. does this make any sense?

 

[talonalex92]

Maybe just jumper the two terminals for the airbag?
