Air bag light disable?
Ok guys, Im so sick of my air bag light, its been blinking at me since i bought the damn car, I dont care to fix it ($$) and because I have plans of getting the efini wheel anyways..
Ive heard that if i pull the bulb that a buzzer will sound. I know all about the different codes from the light and why mine is blinking. How do I turn it off, At this point im about to put some electrical tape over the panel.
someone please help me!

Mine has been blinking since january. I gave up caring. It blinks, I ignore it. It's a healthy relationship.
And the blinking is much better than the beeping, believe me

I wonder if i can put a resistor across the thing so it thinks it has a bulb in it...
edit: just talked to my electrical engineer here, he told me a resistor would probably work.. and gave me some to try out, Ill test it, find the right one and post. then we can all turn this F!@#%@# thing off

LOL, that would suck if it deploys for no odd reason. And the blinking light is better than the beeping; every time somebody goes in my car they say whats that noise and I tell them to ignore it cuse it beeps for like a minute or so.

Removing the airbag ECU will not fix the problem.
I disconnected both connections to my SRS ECU, it only changes the flashing to a solid "on all the time" warning light.
Putting a resistor across the leads WILL fix the problem.
Removing the bulb WILL mask the problem.
The bulb housing looks like:
-( )-
Push up on the right tab (produces counter-clockwise movement) with a long screwdriver, or use a deep socket and a nicely proportioned ratchet. Otherwise use a resistor or pull the gauge cluster (no thanks).

yes i have performed the mod and yes of course it worked. you remove the light bulb AND the ecu. no ecu no beep, the end. i still need to get around to removing the passenger airbag but i removed the front sensors.
