Airbag resistance??

I am trying to find out the resistance for my steering wheel airbag. I think if i put a resistor the same resistance as my airbag in its place the light will stop flashing and the DAMN buzzer will quit. Any ideas?

The miata forums are say that anything between 2 to 3 ohms, but the exact is 2.2 ohms. Could that be the same for the MX-3. Any one with facts on this.

never got an answer and u never told us if you tried the 2.2 ohm resistance. Or even tried a POT (with adjustable resistance), till u found it.

so did u?

Well, I got it.....after a few tries. The trick is exactly 2.2 ohms +-5% tolerance. I got a 1 ohm and a 1.2 ohm in sequence and it worked like a champ. No sounds and no air bag light.

Oh I almost forgot, that is 1/4 watt resistors.
