mccrindle Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Basically I've plugged resistor in to clockspring where airbag would have plugged in and when I turn ignition on it goes out and re-appears a few money's later. Any ideas why this is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Did you have the battery unplugged when you changed the when wheel?A quick code clear will clear the problem, happened a couple of times to me, once I forgot to put the resistor in before turning the car in and then when the plug fell out of the standard wheel.

mccrindle Posted December 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 I didn't disconnect battery when I removed original wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DENTOUT Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 None of the above, you need a ten pence resistor to confuse it into thinking its still there, so that your system still works and no light on the dash just bridge the two wires with the resistor and voila... You may still need codes to be cleared as it will still be stored in ecu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely all it needs is the codes reset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adzer Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 if you put in the wrong resistor how can the airbag deploy when its removed?i have done this to my lupo, removed all airbags and put resistors in, altho my wheel airbag fault keeps coming back after a few hours of driving. the wheel airbag must need a specific resistor unlike the passenger airbag as its worked fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkiii Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Hi guys, i also have a air bag light on due to having a racing wheel fitted. Anybody know what resister is needed to knock off the light?Cheers , Rhys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
