2G airbag delete SRS light bypass

[o0GuitarKid0o]

I'd go with a 1/2 watt if anything

what wattage???

okay ill get 1/8 1/4 and half, but ill start with half and see

okay so i had the battery unhooked then i hooked up the 1/2 first and plugged battery back in and no good so then i tried the 1/4 and still nothing the light is still on? any thoughts

Show me a picture of your multi meter when your testing your air bags resistance

You should also see the resistance of your delete plug to see if the wires are adding enough ohms to make your resister be a 2.6 k ohm or somethin like that

What gauge wire did you use?

Another possibility is that you need to somehow restart the SRS system,
Could there be that something else is wrong with the system how did you wire it?
Was the light on before you did this?

no it was off, i changed the wheel and bam the light was on, i was expecting it to pop on im building a drag car but i still want pass airbag, and i didnt use any wire i just stuck the resistor directly to the wires!!

I would do it exactly like that picture , Are you sure those tiny resister wires are acually making contact with the air bag circuit?

I would solder the resister to a similar gauge of wire that the air bag has and try again

If your making a drag car then I wouldn't leave the resister like that due to vibrations ect


Pictures?

I removed both airbags and the SRS module. Pulled out the cluster bulb too, never will come back on.

Just to add to this post, never EVER test an airbag with a meter!!! EVER, this is how people get killed. A meter will output voltage on the probes when set to the Ohm setting, that voltage can blow an airbag, I cringed when I read this thead.
