    ends of the flatter square plugs or cut wires( not suggested unless u have replacement ends) and solder straight on to wires

    So i put each end of the resistor into the pins on the plug i guess are 2.2 ohms resistors ok for this ? and assume i leave the other end unplugged ?

    Also what about the one at the wheel ?

    Can anyone advise on the wire that connects to the contact ring as i have tried putting 2.2 ohm resistors in the end of the plugs as suggested but the light still comes on at ignition stage and them starts to flash and then goes solid which is annoying to say the least.

    The bottom plug in the pic a resistor goes here(airbag ring)Then the plug coming from the floor another resistor goes here.

    This may sound stupid but do they just stay unplugged with the resistors in the end or do i have to try and connect them up again i assume that if unplugged the airbags wont actually deploy in the event of an accident as they not plugged in or am i wrong ?

    Sorry forgot to add will 2.2 ohms resistors be ok for all three ?

    The airbags won`t deploy afaik & no you don`t connect up again.

    I guessed as much but as i know sod all about electronic i thought i would ask the stupid question lol.

    Besides tbh i dont think if i had any kind of serious accident the airbag will do much as the saxo build quality would probably result in the engine being smashed into me lol

    Thanks for your advice will have another tinker with the resistors at the weekend.
