DIY: [How-To:] Racing Seat airbag light fix

CJBinder

I am about to tear out my dash to remove the bulb for this air bag. I have tried 4 different types of resistors. Testing on resistor leads on each end not connected and voltmeter on 200 OHM setting(lowest) it reads 5.4-5.5. Was thinking it should be 4.7. Idk. Each time I did the reset trick and this thing never works. I have the weight sensor plugged in from passenger seat and both clips in for airbags with the following resistors.

Any ideas?

disconnect + on battery and wait 5 minutes to reconnect. Worth a shot

May we know why the positive and not the negative? I always disconnect the negative to reset.

Actually the way I've always done resets is disconnecting both and touching the cables together. ALWAYS reset everything.

A direct short like that can cause problems (the capacitors discharge too fast). Pressing on the brake pedal (or placing a fairly high resistance load between the terminals) will limit the amount of current. Granted, it's not a big problem with most modern electronics, but why take a chance?

Doesn't matter. No need to wait 5 minutes - just press on the brake pedal for a second or two.
