my airbag module is bad on my sn so the bulb comes on, and i know about removing it how it'll cause the awful beep in the dash, so if the light doesnt need to come on for my inspection, i was curious if anyone has ever ohm'd out a bulb to see the resistance and grabbed that resistor and stuck it in the bulb socket. since the circuit knows when the bulb burns out etc it obviously goes off the resistance in the circut. just a thought

why?? it's just easier and cheaper to reach behind the dash and unplug the blue module box

redpony88

really? that'd turn the light off and all? i havent ever looked into it much. i thought if it was unplugged it'd beep or something

it beeps once you pull the bulb, to cure that just unplug the module, that's what I did in my 92 4cyl conv project

the light just gets annoying after awhile. haha

mjr46

yeah I know, that's why I unplugged mine

measure the resistance of the bulb then put a resistor thats the same in place of the bulb. yer pretty much tricking it into thinking the bulbs there, and avoiding the beeping. i did this in my truck and it works great

i think he said that in the original post.
