Bugeye Front Seats - Air Bag Light
Hi all
i have just changed the front seats but my old seats had the air bags in. I have fitted the resistor 3.3 on both sides but air bag light is on.
should have i disconnected the battery first becuase i didnt.
Whats the solution without taking the buld out. is it a simple ecu reset
regards
Colin

Can you point me in the direction of where you got your resistor, i've changed the seats in my bug for ones form a P1 and have the airbag light up.

I took mine out and fitted the resistors, didn't disconnect the battery and the light went out fine. Same with my steering wheel and passenger airbag - if the resistors are making a good connection they should go straight out

hi m8 i used 3 x 10k resistors and twisted them together to get the 3.3K. i have loads spare if you need some.
madmerlin
my cousin has the snap on jobby, so i will get it reset with that... i have used it loads of times with all the scoobs i have had
otherwise i need SY

Just in case you have wrong resistors it is 3.3ohm not 3.3k resistors and nothing should need resetting once the airbag ecu sees 3.3 ohm it will extinguish the light, I did same in my wrx, but the resistors being thin wires needed the wires folding to increase dia before pushing in the plug to make a good connection, I would say either wrong resistors or bad connection in plug

Hi Mate,
I had the same problem as you in mine...i did post the issue and the "fix" in May....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Resolution to this problem is as follows:
2 x 3.3ohm 0.6w resistor from Maplin's for 21p each (one for each seat.)
Place one in each clip underneath the seat.....voila...airbag light now off...!! The resistors do need a good connection though.

yes Lee it is m8,
i just ordered 10 off so got some spare if you need. i removed the plastic surrounds then soldered the wrong resistors to the base of the crimps lol. but got the correct ones coming now so if you need some let me know :-)
Thanks JonMC, ebay has some coming in the post just hope they work LOL
