WRX Side Airbag Question?
If I put new seats in my car (Sparco's), is it going to throw the airbag light? I am wondering because I have my eye on a set of Sparco Corsas.
Thanks,
Andy

Not sure but mabey try the 2.2 resistor used for the egt fix couldnt hurt since they are like 30cents.. I have sti V7 seats and i just live with the light it doesnt bother me anymore then the cel i have had for 2+ years..

From the info I have seen a 3-ohm resistor can be used to replace a removed side airbag. I haven't verified this myself, just passing it along.
The resistor mod for the EGT sensor uses a 2.2K ohm, they are not interchangeable.

Hey guys I'll check what resistor it is.. Its been so long that I forgot.. When I get the chance I'll run to my car and find out sometime today.. and BadWRX if you go to UCKK then I might be there next week so you can see what I did

Ok guys the resistor should be a 3 ohm not K or Kilo ohm. and also 5 watt.. I got mine at FRY's. Before anyone goes out let me take pics of it so you can see it.. and BadWRX maybe you can see mine and we can get one so we know for sure what it really is.. sorry guys its been that long...
almost forgot if anyone can check this part number 98299PA040 from subaru its a plug for the seat belt harness that has a 3 ohm resistor. but I think its cost like $70 or so if Im correct.

Here it is on the plug.. sorry if its kinda hard to see. 
Here is a pic of it in my hand as you can see its kinda big
and heres the cluster without the airbag light.. now I need to find out how to get rid of the Rear Diff Temp....

And the 5 watt thing is how much the resistor can handle before it blows or something like that... I got the 5 watt cause they were out of the 2 watt. so far it works....
