Please help ASAP
Thanks

Is it the Squib for the airbag? Got a yellow front?

thanks captain klang, how did you bypass the air bag light
thanks

I shoved a 2.6Ohm Resistor into the plug. You can see it in the video, and some of the pics. Not the most Hi-Tech of solutions, but it's effective and cost a whole 67p

 

[will walker]

would a 1.8ohm work?

I did a lot of digging around, and the average seems 2.2 to 2.6 Ohm. You can always try it, but consensus is that the airbag shows a resistance of 2.6 ohms to the sensor.

Take the bulb out the back of the clocks x

Can't get it out the back of mine...all sealed up. Just stuck some sticky tape over it....sorted .

over where?

 

[davyboy]

Take your speedo off, then the glass..... and just stick black tape over it.

i installed a 2.5 ohm resister but still isn't working? help??

 

[Kaptain Klang]

Have you reset the air bag light since installing the resistor?

 

[will walker]

no, how do I do it?

 

[Kaptain Klang]

No idea: I didn't need to because I put the resistor in immediately after changing the wheel so the light never came on.
Check list: Have you put the resistor in the right holes (check the pic for help)
Is it the right value Resistor (i.e. 2.6 Ohm and not 2K6 ohm?)
Have you sacrificed a Cabbage to the God of Car Modification?

Mot requires the light to come on before starting and then turn off. This means no light equals favour... Which is pants I tried to get that one to work lol

Blank the light out so it cannot be seen by the tester, and it is an advisory only. If they tell you different tell them to take a ride.
Mine has passed the last two tests with the light on; but blanked out with black electrical tape.

Toms car has passed twice? Hes taken the bulb out :/ x

That is the way to do it. Mot people cannot remove or alter anything. So if they cannot see if the bulb comes on or off they have to advisory it.

Doesent mean its legal lol. Some testers are just friendly. We like friendly testers.

 

[Clodo]

Hmmmm this is very true .... hey ho x

tbh a 67p resistor is less hassle than faffing about removing the clocks and putting tape on, and probably not that much more expensive.

And that's why I will be using ur method next time
