Is there anyway to remove the service airbag warning in the cluster. Its annoying

 

Can you disassemble the cluster and pull a bulb? Or electrical tape.

 

Maybe ill try to pull a bulb if its possible. Black tape would be ghetto lol

 

thats funny

 

open the cluster. take the face off. and put tape over the icon.
therefore when the light goes on you wont see it.

 

That is ghetto and half assing ****. Who would do something like that. Ill just keep stock steering wheel or find a tech willing to figure it out

 

You wouldn't only have to put tape over the icon. You would have to put tape over the display then you can't see the miles on your car or outside temp, coolant temp...

 

A few guys have done it. BLAZIN07 for one, John Powell for another. Maybe one of them can offer a suggestion.

 

I would rather just rewire air bag somewhere else. But I dontknow how safe that would be or where I would locate it

 

If you can find out the resistance that the air bag has, for the love of god don't test it I've seen dvm's set them off, you can make a resistor pack that you should be able to put in its place in the harness. But you have to get the right resistance or it could set off the other airbags.


How's that for a real answer?

 

It wouldn't be safe at all. Don't do that.

 

Right?
And he said black tape over the bulb was ghetto......

 

I didn't say I was going to do so yeah. Was just an idea. The resistor idea is a good idea.

 

Yeah a couple of different brands use and have used them at different times for testing the systems. Hell maybe GM uses them I have no idea, if they do maybe someone on here can tell you the resistance.

 

i work for ford and we have plug in resisters to test airbag circuits, all u got to do it get a correct resister usually 2.50 ohms and put it in the connector and no longer have a light, not that hard todo

 

First off check your local laws.

Here it's illegal to modify anything involved with the safety protection of your car. Insurance may not cover you anymore.

Why would you want to get rid of your airbags? A simple collision that would be easily survivable with the bag could now kill you.

 

False.
Airbags both save and take lives.
There is no guarantee that an airbag will save you nor that not having one will kill you. Its all going to be about how the accident plays out, if there is one.

 

Yup but they do more good then harm. Same as seat belts.

That's why they're mandatory in cars. Taking one out is a useless risk. Risk of life, injury and not being covered by insurance.

 

my car is no longer a DD so I'm not to worried about the airbag id rather have a sparco steering wil. I'm gonna check into these resistors. I know people on other forums have done the same thing so yeah

 

Where is the airbag control module I these cars? How would I check for ohms/resistance? I can probly have a shop check that for me. If I can figure it out in the next few week id let evryone know how!

 

it's possible, just unsolder the light, I did it for my dad in his cavalier Im thinking it would be the same for a cobalt.

 

Mine is not just a red light. It displays service air bag soon in cluster itself where the milage displays

 

you would have to use some kind of program to get rid of the service airbag soon on the DIC if thats what your trying to do.
how thats done who the hell knows

my old rims they had no TPMS sensors. when i got my led cluster from a member on here he put black tape over the tpms light and the message would still come up on the dic but it wouldnt show the light.

 

What is the correct way to check for airbag resistance? So I know what resister to get?

 

meaure it
