Default 4.7K ohm 20w resistor (for the airbag) - where can I buy 'em?

Any links where I can buy a 4.7K ohm resistor that can shut my airbag light?

Edit: how do I install on the driver side airbag seat?

Default Here.....>

I don't think you need 20 watt though. They have 5's and 10's<ul><li><a href="http://www.partsexpress.com">http://www.partsexpress.com</a</li></ul>

thanks Steve. Partsexpress only have up to 10w - you think that would work?

Default This is to jumper for not having the seat plugged in? I am not speaking from a position of

knowledge, but 20W seems like it would be WAY overkill for that. What would draw that much current?

Default The one in Axey'rcat's post is no where near 20w. I doubt you need it. You can get a .5 W 4.7kOhm

resistor at RadioShack for a dollar (less per piece if you get 10 or 100).<ul><li><a href="http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&amp;category%5Fnam e=CTLG%5F011%5F002%5F014%5F002&amp;product%5Fid=27 1%2D1124">1/2 W 4.7kOhm resistor</a></li></ul>

No problem. Note, I haven't done this myself, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
