How did you deal with the SRS light? Did you install a resister in airbag wiring to 'trick' it, or take the bulb out of the cluster? I'm going to be doing this soon and not sure which is the 'easiest' method.

Well didnt have much luck with the resistor method. Probably didnt do something correctly so i will look into it later. If you are just wanting to hide the light taking the cluster out and covering it from the backside isnt hard. Youll already be that far into the dash so dropping the column to get it out isnt too much more. However i do believe the pass airbag wont work if the resistor isnt there. I will try it again in the future but i dont have anyone ride with me very often so not overly concerned with it.

When i did the resistor, i removed the air bag wire from the column, cut the wire close to the connector but left about 5 inches, soldered in the 2.2 ohm resistor and surrounded all the connections and the resistor with hot glue for insulation and protection. Then plugged it in and tucked it up. Its been working fine for 5 years.

I just checked my resistors. I don't have a 2.2 ohm unless I'm looking in the wrong spot. I have a 220 ohm one though. Can anyone confirm which resistor it is for the air bag?
Look at how I got glued it together

Also for anyone looking for resistors that small, I found a variety pack of resistors at The Source (what RadioShack is called in Canada now) that had this size in it that was fairly cheap.

You will find a thick yellow wire under the dash that goes to the steering column and up to the steering wheel. it has a green and white wire in it. Just cut the wire on the steering wheel side of the plug and Solder one end of resistor to the green and the other end to the white, basically making a loop. Insulate with tape or shrink tubing and you are done.
