Air Bag Light Ok, I have searched for the last 30 min and cant come up with an answer. I just picked up a couple of resistors to install on my air bag connectors so my airbag light is not on. (Just installed an aftermarket wheel) Can someone PM me a link or some information on installing the resistors so I dont **** it up and have my Passenger Airbag deploy as soon as I re connect the battery. Thank you

The easiest way to keep the pass airbag from deploying is to unplug it. Pull the glove box down and look for the yellow clip going to the airbag and unplug it. You will have the airbag light, but you already have it anyway. Just install a resistor in that plug as well and you're good to go. I had the airbag light lit up for years until I dropped the glove compartment and realized the dopes that repaired my car after the wreck never plugged the new pass airbag in. Plugged it in and light hasn't been on since.

Problem is, for my insurance to cover my car I Must retain my passenger Airbag. I asked them about my old Denali how I had a key I could turn my passenger Airbag off with. They then told me in the event of an accident, if the passenger airbag is off your are not covered. Sure is nice of them to tell you that sort of stuff when you get a policy.

I am sure in those instances you would be covered. They just dont mention **** like that. I freaking hate dealing with insurance companies. Everyone I talk to seems shady as if they are trying to rip you off. I mean why should it feel like Im buying crack from a shady drug dealer when shopping for car insurance! haha

Are you sure your insurance is saying they won't cover the vehicle if the airbags are off or they won't cover bodily injury to your person or passengers? I am quite surprised that they would arbitrarily not cover the whole vehicle for the airbag and also that they won't drop you now anyway since you have removed your driver-side airbag already. What insurance company are you with?

I know a few of you have installed the resistors before. Thanks in advance
