Default How to kill airbag warning light
I have an aftermarket steering wheel with no airbag and so get the airbag warning light staying on. MOT is approaching, I need to sort it. Is there any way I can fool the car into thinking the airbag is there?

I've read stuff about inserting a 3 ohm resistor, but where do I put it?

Remove the dash and take the bulb out!

No light anymore

Default warning light
The airbag warning light is not part of the M.O.T yet, they can only advise you that its inoperative.
