OK, Ive asked this on the 993 board (and searched)and no one could answer me. I want to change my steering wheel to a non airbag type, but want to keep my passenger side airbag working. I know Porsche has a jumper tool to fool the module so as not to turn on the airbag light, but it is now over $200.00. All I need to know is the resistance of this jumper (or the airbag itself) and I will make one. I'll be glad to post a do-how when I'm done. This resistor cant cost more than $5.00 at Radio Shack. Can anyone tell me the value?

It was $60 a year or two ago. Sure you have the right tool? If I remember correctly, its a 9516. Maybe it got caught up in the price increase last year, which really jerked some prices skywards.

I'm sure,. and thats even with my dealer discount.
Do you have one you could measure with an OHM meter? Anyone?

I believe Joey Bagadonuts could speak on this one??

I am now the PROUD owner of his former airbag/horn contacts.

I seem to remember that he had some type of resistance in there so his light didn't come on and the passenger side would work just fine.
