Airbag light resistor cheat

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...

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.

Hello, i m writing from italy, i have the same question of you... i have replaced double seat with airbag with single seat without airbag and put a resistor to cheat side airbag error. Now the airbag have no error but he single seat have no weight sensor so it is like nobody is seating there ... the front airbag will still work in case of an accident ?
thank you

Morning forum,
Please help, MOT due in a couple of weeks!
I have an airbag light warning after replacing the bench seat with a single. I have a bag full of resistors, but I don't have a yellow plug under the seat, or any plug with the three coloured wires.
Confused?
Van is a 22 plate T6.1
Cheers

Not familiar with t6.1 as mine a t6
Did you swap seat yourself ? Is it possible that your double wasn’t airbag seat if no yellow plug, or has it not been pushed under the flap in carpet/rubber flooring.
Im probably stated obvious which you’ve already checked, really need another t6.1 owner really to advise if indeed it’s a yellow connection on newer vans, hope you get sorted on this one, what happens if you get airbag light reset on diagnostic machine does it just come back on, which would indicate defo the seat connections
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me will be along to help you
