Airbag light fix

[wocka]

Ive bought some 3.3 ohm resistors for my airbag light and they havent worked, its for my steering wheel airbag as ive put a aftermarket steering wheel on

Have i got the wrong resistors or any ideas?

I used 3.9 mate.

 

[wocka]

I read somewhere 3.9 was too much :/ did it work ok?

 

[Glenn182]

Never had a problem mate.

Are you sure it's the airbag that's causing the MIL?

2.5-4K ohm needed. if you've got 3.3 ohm and not 3.3K ohm, that's probably your problem

I will check what i have. Light came on after removing standard wheel. I will check what i have and try again lol

3.3M ohm i have

 

[Dan519]

ECU will be seeing that as an open circuit
