Pulled air bags and module... how to get rid of light?
I've pulled my air bags and module but haven't got the car back together just yet. I know my light is going to kick on as soon as I start the car so while I've got it torn apart what do I need to do to disable the light? I've took my gauge cluster apart but the light looks to be part of the circuit board so I didn't mess with it. Is there a wire or something I can cut to kill it? Thanks

I've heard of people putting a resistor inside of the connector that the air bags were connected too. This way it thinks its still hooked up and the light wont come on in the dash.

Did the mods removed the above mentioned led bulbs, but when I installed the cluster my low oil light now illuminates along with the check guages light. Where could I have gone wrong??

I had an o2 sensor wire get burned and short. Took me a while to find it so I just turned the code off to get it inspected. Once I turned the sea light off the service vehicle light came on and stayed on until I found the short and fixed it.
The least labor intensive way would be to wire in a resistor. The warning light comes on because the circuit is not within spec I guess you'd say. It needs to see certain voltages or level or resistance

Instead of taking the bulbs out, I took some heat shrink tubing and placed it over the bulb. Once I 'shrunk' the tubing, it stayed on and you couldn't see any lights. I did it for a few of them.
