Just removed the passenger airbag and replaced it with an upper glove box. I know I need a 1.8 ohm resistor to fool the ecu but is as simple as just plugging it in where the airbag used to be plugged in ?
Sorry if its a dumb question but I hate electrics.
Thanks chaps

Oh ok, thanks
I actually have the fused resistor ready to go. I just need encouragement that you just plug it into the orange connector in place of the airbag !

    correct. Just bridge the two pins on the plug (with the car off obviously) and job done!

    that would be me then !
    1.8ohm resistor plugged in were the bag once was should help

    use a fused resistor though it will protect the rest of the system by not overloading the electronics in the airbag ecu on detination ,the fuse will blow instead Wink

    1.8 works on PH3

    i measured bags at 2.7ohm on a ph2 but have used 1.8's on these systems too

    i have listings on ebay for
    1.8
    2.2
    2.7
    3.3
    search for ebay seller cu11y70 Wink

    But the airbag ecu is only single use. Once its detonated one bag, it needs replacing. Unless your thinking the return voltage will detonate another air bag?

    the idea for using a fused resistor is it acts like an airbag!

    if you just put a resistor link in its place it may take all the current designed for say 6 bags
    so only 1 or two bags might detinate insted of all the intended

    you only use a resistor on the loom ends where you removed the bag/pretensioner from

    you dont need to fit to any other bag that you want to still work

    search for ebay seller cu11y70

    or search "airbag resistor" and look for the value resistance you need

    there are other sellers who sell them so the choice is yours who you buy from

    Ok thanks, iv never searched for a member before so not sure how to.

    I have a phase two 98 car but may have ph3 airbag for all I know, could have been changed.
