There was a thread on this recently, I recall. I've heard 2.3 Ohms more than once, and a spread of 2.2 to 2.6 seems to be common. You can pick up a selection for pennies at Maplin or similar.

Just take the bulb out... Far easier x

Facelifts don't use a bulb they have a tiny led that's hard to get to

Can't get too, tape it up.

I did but still no easy job

It's easier to use a resistor. I just shoved a 2.6 Ohm wire wound/Cement bound resistor into the holes used for the airbag sensor.

The other wire is for the horn slip ring. I do love cable ties and magnet wire

i spent 20 years repairing crashed cars, and my personal advice would be to leave the f/kin airbag on

I'd agree with that Frank. If my car had an airbag I would leave it in. It came to me without one after a crash, so, I haven't bothered.
