You guys that have done this, is it the little 2.2kohm resistors, or the gigantic big brick block looking 2ohm resistors?

 

Ttt....

 

Actually the 2.2kohm resistor has more resistance than the 2ohm. 2.2k means 2200ohm's The only reason your 2 ohm is bigger is because it will handle more wattage. I've never done this before. But it shouldn't really matter which one you put in the harness. Because all your doing is putting a load on it so the pcm thinks something is hooked up. Kinda like are skip shift eliminator's can be fixed with a resistor. Just unhook the harness and put a resistor in it. Hope this helps and let me know if it works. I fixed my daytime running light's the same way. Just unhooked the sensor and put a resistor in the harness. I just grabbed a random resistor to.

You mean your automatic headlights (not DRLs). In that case you could have just put a piece of wire rather than a resistor. The system would read zero resistance and think it's daylight all the time.

 

I tried both the 2.2 kohm, and then (2) 1 ohm's in series. Neither worked. I also have the airbag sensor/comp removed from the center console. Not sure if that matters?

 

I don't know then man. It's above me. Oh and yeah I did mean automatic headlights. I was in a hurry typing.

 

automatic headlights are 2.2k

 

Don't know where you got that information. The Firebird doesn't have the automatic headlights (at least not in the US) but has exactly the same sensor circuit. GM's own solution is a simple jumper wire across the sensor wires to "short" them and leave the automatic headlights off. No resistor is necessary. I also know this works because I bought the sensor from the dealer, plugged it in, and now my T/A has automatic headlights. Then I added an SPST switch across the two wires. A flip of the switch shorts the leads together so that I can disable the automatic headlights when I want to.

 

you need the sensor installed with the resistor installed to turn off the light.....removing the airbag deploy sensor module will cause the bmc to turn the airbag light on......putting a resistor in the airbag circuit will trick the sensor module into reporting everything is normal.

 

rip the light out, its just in the cluster

 

I don't mind ripping the airbag light out, but I would like the service vehicle light to still work for other things, and that one is on all the time because of the airbag. Pulling the airbag light out won't take care of the "service vehicle" light will it? Oh, and I'm not hooking the airbag module sensor back up.

 

im wanting to keep my airbags but dissconnect them can i pull the fuse and install the reisisotr nad be done with the light??? anybody have info on where you install this resistor and anybody certain on what type of resistor to use where do i find the connector to plug thie reisistor in any info send to hsbr6969@yahoo.com i greatly appreciate it
