Wow this is all great information guys! I have ordered the resistors and should have them tomorrow evening. I’ll take the car apart tonight if I have time and hopefully this addresses both the seat belt light and airbag. One more thing off the list.

Still trying to get this to work. I purchased a 2w 5ohm resistor and tied it into the original harness as shown.

When I turn the key on I still get the INFL REST light. Does the car have to be running? Not knowing where I am going wrong.

pretty sure it should out even with only turning key on. You may try starting it to see. Is it a 2ohm or 5ohm? I was looking at it seems to be a 2ohm which should work just fine. Do you have dual airbags?

Hello there,

The car is a 1990 and I believe only has the one airbag. The resistor is a 2 ohm 5 watt piece. The only thing I was thinking was with the seatbelt light on as well is that the issue?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Tony

Checkout this thread. I think it will help you out. From what I gather your seatbelt sensor may have lost ground. The airbag light might go out after you clean that also.

Tony you are correct the 94 was the model year for dual airbags. You could always just upgrade the OEM steering wheel and keep the air bag.... I just Ded my wheel and it looks pretty great

Thanks again all! I see where the talk about the sensors grounded to the frame. Are they talking about the seat frame or frame of the car. If the latter, where are the sensors located?

Thank you,

frame of car. I think around battery area but don't quote me on that.

There are 2 sensors. Driver's & passenger's side. Check your FSM for access and also do a search here on the forum for some good info.
Also, be sure and clean the wiring connections in the driver's and passenger's footwells. They will be the yellow wires.
As a precaution, dis-connect the battery and wait a while before working on the sensors or wiring.
