Airbag resistor?

[MTGTS]

I swapped a Gen 1 wheel into my car and removed my airbag and clockspring. I will be getting the airbag light and was wondering if anyone knew the correct resistor to put into the plug that used to connect to the clockspring so I don't?

Anyone know what a Gen 2 Airbag goes for? I can't seem to find any for sale. I may just keep it unless it's worth it to sell it.

just measure the resistance of your current air bag. there ya go!

EDIT: if you have removed the clockspring also, you need to plug the clockspring into the airbag then measure that resistance. and install that, cause the clock spring does provide some resistance to the system.

all air bag connectors have shorting bars. They short the wires together when unplugged. You will have to be very careful. Use a high impedance meter or you could blow the bag.

The bag doesn't have the short bar in it. Just the connector does.

I may be able to find you the resistance when I get into work tomorrow. Just gotta see if I can find the tool laying around the shop some where.

long time ago but I seem to recall I hooked up a couple of resistors to 2,2 ohm

here ya go!

air bag resistance - 2.1 ohms

air bag + clockspring - 3.1 ohms

thanks!! I'll climb under the dash today or tomorrow and see if it works.

 

[MTGTS]

ordered. 3.0 and 3.3 ohm resistors today. Should be here next week, we'll see what happens

 

[MoparBoyy]

get it installed yet?

I ripped a bunch of other stuff apart on the car so I haven't messed with it. I found out one of my Penskes weren't holding nitrogen so I had to send it back. I also, took my intake off to plug the CCV ports and am redoing the breather/venting system. I did receive the resistors but they are just sitting on my table.

Keep paving the way for me Matt.

Hey, I'm gonna get back to that rollbar. I promise. Just been busy.

Sorry for the delay. I went to VIR last weekend and it's been raining tons here which hasn't allowed me to move one of the cars out of the garage to work on anything. I managed to pull the yellow plug out from under the dash and do some testing with the car running. The 3.0 ohm resistor was able to turn off the airbag light. I didn't try the 3.3. I was just holding it on the tips of the plug. I'm gonna have to make something to get it to stay there permanently.
