Any lights/problems with removing rear seatbelts?

[BenAG200]

As above, fully stripped rear but don't want any lights if I take the belts out?

 

[RalphyBMW]

The rear belts do have pretensioners so I would expect a fault light if removed.

Anyway to avoid light coming on? Resistors etc

 

[BenAG200]

Anybody?

try having a look at this... i know it's generally a good idea to disconnect the car battery and wait 20 mins for the residual charge to decay before you start fiddling with airbags/seat belt sensors, that way you're less likely to trigger a warning light.

the other thing you might be able to do is if you have a multimeter like this:

you could possibly try measuring the resistance of the bit you're taking out (while it's not connected to the rest of the circuit (Ω symbol on a meter)
though i can't guarantee this approach as some components change resistance in relation to the voltage they are working at (which itself is programmed to the ECU)

if that doesnt work, ask and i'll try and help a bit further if i can
