Resistor for Airbag DELETE
Has anyone figured out the resistor needed to allow the removal of the Airbag without getting the light and error on the dash.

Very cool! That's what I was looking for. Would is make since that it would be the same on a 996? Is there a way I can check it?

Waiting for a chime in on this one I just replaced my oem steering wheel to a flat bottomed quick release Momo and lovin it but the dash light is annoying!

On a 996 the horn is also part of the clock spring. You can buy the 964 horn piece from Porsche and I also bought a used clockspring from another 996 911 so I didn't have to cut mine (996, boxster are all the same). You need to solder the resistor inline where the airbag once was. When you install the 964 horn bushing it has a contact so the horn can be pressed and sound off. You need to then add a wire to the back of the control stalk and it will allow the horn to work. Once put back together, everything should work as normal and you should not have an SRS light.
Follow this thread, it's very good.

A resistor from 2.8 to I believe a 3.2 ish will work fine. To make it all work, you need the following:

Here is a link to the non airbag steering wheel conversion. I know we used a resistor but can't remember what size.
