Not sure where to post this so move it if you want (Mods)

I need a resistor like the one above so I can fool my ECU into thinking the car still has an airbag wheel and stop the warning light coming on. I have tried maplin with no luck and have an account with RS Components but there are thousands. Can anyone tell me where i can get one. Ether 2.7 or 3.0ohm.

Cheers

Would a Model Shop have one? Similar to the resistors on Motors etc..

Can't see your piccy - what is the rating of the resistor?





It's ok piccy arrived this time - looks like 1 watt. I'll check my box of bits.

I put a key switch in my TT - airbag or resistor (airbag off) for when the kiddy is in the front.

Nothing in my goody bag - try this link www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?criteria=W2R7&DOY=19m1

Look down for the code list for W2R7. May be a bit chunky but will do the job.

Don't bother trying, it's futile.
