Hey guys does anyone know or have a link to a resistor or something I can connect to the loose connector so the light goes out?
Aftermarket seats - airbag light

Your best bet is to pop in to a Renault dealer and ask them to take the airbag light of It's a lot cheaper than fitting a resistor.
But surely they can only take the light off with clearing the fault with a code reader? But then the fault will still be there? I doubt they would literally take the light out would they?
Get the Recaro resistor pack:

See that black wire part? Thats what closes the circuit and returns a signal to your ECU and the generic plugs should fit your cars wiring loom.
(its worth noting however if you have a non-Recaro car you in essence need 2x of those black wire parts as normal seats have 2x airbags... side and bottom)

The light has come on as standard seats have 1 more sub air bag under the seat your aftermarket seats do not so the airbag light will come on,I have just had this problem with fitting Recaros so i went to Renault to disable the sub airbag and take the light of.It cost £36 resistors cost £70.
airbag system doesnt work like that!
the faulty component has to be repaired/replaced or the system reconfigured to remove the light
the resistors replicate the missing item thats all so the system is fooled in to thinking all is ok and so the light goes out
Awesome thanks for all the replies guys! Think I might try renault first see if they will disable and reset it.
