Airbag Light Resistor Fix (Aftermarket Seats)
YES!!! I WIN!!!
DISCLAIMER
Yada yada I'm not responsible for anything that goes wrong. Nothing should . So let's do it!
What you'll need:
1. Aftermarket seats (previously having stock seats that had side airbags)
2. That annoying SRS light
3. 2 5-ohm resistors (or for my example, 4 10-ohm resistors) [1 5-ohm per side or 2 10-ohms per side]
WARNING!!! Make SURE while doing this that the (-) on the battery is UNPLUGGED! Never wanna mess with the SRS system with the battery still connected. Give the system a few minutes to discharge before you start working with it.
First, the harness we're working with, is the yellow one that is among the other ones that attached to the seatbelt sensors.
Take two 10-ohm resistors:
You'll need to put them in parallel, so take one and wrap its leads around the others like so:
Bend the lead combinations into a U shape:
Finally, plug the leads into the harnesses like so:
Secure with electrical tape (no pic) just so the resistors don't pop out down the road.
Voila! No SRS light:

If you don't have the side airbags you shouldn't have this problem IF you reattach all the other things (seat belt harnesses/sensors). If you don't hook up the stock seat belt equipment then you will get the SRS light again. However, I do not have a fix for that as my Corbeau brackets have a mounting spot for the stock belt attachments (thus I could hook up the rest of the wires).

any advise on that?
oh, and good job!

i meen the stock seats in general. so you can rip out the sensors in both the seats that easy? are the sensors just in the back portion of the seat (meaning where your back rest), or in the butt section of the seat? i might have to take a look at my seats and reconnect my air bags if thsi works out well

Hello,
I have been reading this thread and others and I'm confused...I think...but
On the driver side seat...All you need to do is plug in the black wire on the seat plug.
On the passenger side seat: you need to do the resistor mod and pull out the clear senor out and the put into new seat..
Please correct if I'm wrong..I want to get this right...

Make sure its a 5ohm resistor, or 2 10ohm resistor and wire the 2 10s in parallel. Make sure the resistor is all the way in the YELLOW plug. I did it and it works fine for my car.
