Default anyone know what ohm resistor I'll need to bypass the driver's seat airbag?
putting in a new one with no airbag and am hoping to get a radio shack resistor instead of the 55 dollar one from the seat manufacturer.

TIA,


Peter

Default Answer...
made you look =)

3.7ohm

you need to do the whole

Multiple Resistors in parallel
1/Rf = 1/r1+1/r2+1/r3

Do a search Mark Bradford did a nice writeup

Very bad idea. That is some of the worst advice today. Airbag light on = no airbag deployment.
