Airbag light resistor cheat

[Loz]

Hi @Loz can I buy some of these from you please

Sure, drop me a PM..

Without me sounding daft is this mod just a case of pushing these into the yellow connector?
how do they stay in? And do you cover them with insulation tape was fitted
thanks

I found just pushing the prongs in wasn't secure enough, the prongs wanted to pop out of the connector sideways. I folded the pins back on themselves then inserted them, which made them stay put. Just folded the remainder against the yellow plug and taped them

Thank you for advice @dreadycraig so is it ok just to cover resistor in tape to keep secure in place once pushed into connectors.
will pm @Loz when figure out how to pm

Yes I pushed them in but put them into a clear plastic pouch and zip tied the whole lot together, then tucked it under the cab carpet.

My light came on again. I found the original resistors and replaced it. It didn't clear the fault. My garage found the measured value on his computer was 1.9 ohms despite the 2.7 ohm resistor. I replaced the replacement with the original and it allowed the fault to be cleared.
But today the dog stood in the gap between the seats and the airbag light came on...
I think I need to solder the resistor in...

Newbie question. I have front bench seat on my t6.1 with occupancy sensors, no airbags. I want to fit a swivel base and need to frig the occupancy sensors so I can fit under the floor. Is this thread relevant to my issue?

Hi
Does anyone know what type of connector the yellow one is?
I did find a thread where Pauly had made an extention cable but I can't find it again. Thus allowing the air bag to be disconnected and reconnected from out side the swivel base area.
Thanks

2.2 ohm worked for me so far

I just cut the wires to the yellow connector and made an extension with two sets of connectors. The issues arise when I needed to drop the windows to hook up the solar connector to the leisure battery with the seat swiveled and disconnected. In the end I just bought a single seat and used the resistor to blank off the sensor for the now removed seat belt.
I wondering if there is a ware switch to turn that sensor off in the ECU so I don't have to use the resistor.
