get 3x10 Ohm resistors and put them together
that should fix your problem

go back to radioshack and buy a pack of 10 ohm resistors and put them in parallel. If you dont know what that means exactly, here it works. I did it on a buddys car when he got a bride bucket seat to take away his airbag light. Didnt solder them though because I didnt think it was necessary.

if you are strict on getting a 3.3 ohm resistor, listen to cory, if radioshack is more of a convenience to you, do what I already posted. theres nothing to it. Did it to my buddys car over a month ago now and its working just fine WITHOUT solder. Just twisted the 3 10ohm resistors together like in the picture and viola!

the three 10 ohm resistors in parallel would equal 3.33 ohms
