Do you have airbag seats?? Well if you do you have 2 options really its kinda the same if you do the front airbag delete .... either u live with the light or u remove the light bulb inside the cluster. I dont know if there is any other way to bypass it

I'm not sure if this will work, but if there's only two wires for the airbag, see what the air bag's resistance is and head to Radio Shack and find a resistor that has about the same amount of resistance and have that complete the air back circuit where your air bag would plug in.

You need a simple 1 Ohm resistor.

Airbag seats were only with the leather option, right?

how much more do one of those air bag seats weigh compared to our stock SXT and SE seats?

...also what type of wiring would someone who wants side airbags be looking at?

mr_mopar_neon · Post by **mr_mopar_neon** » Sat Sep 27, 2008 7:22 pm

they weigh a ton dont no how much more.i have never had the drivers seat out before and thats got a mottor in in to go up and down so that will weigh even more.

not a clube on wiring

any one no what watt i would need on this 1 Ohm resistor

also dose any one no a good way of been able to remove the seat belt with out the light and bleep going of all the time???

wow, sounds like you are going to have to live with multiple lights and multiple dings!

you might consider removing the light in the cluster. I know that my seatbelt light goes off after I pull it a little. It doesn't even have to be connected!

Maybe you can figure out how to get it taught enough so the light goes off... I've never played with the seatbelts before so I don't know.

You might consider leaving the stock belts in as well. Yes, you're going to put a 4 or 5 point harness in and it is a great deal safer, but some people out there (mainly women) don't want to ride in your car if it's going to take 20 min. to get into the seatbelts...

For the seat belt there should be a wire harness going into the latch part. Try jumpering the wires/or connector pins to simulate it being latched.

The latch? Like near the arm rest? No, it's all based on tension or whatever. Just pull your seatbelt down about six inches with the car on and the light will go off.

You might want to leave the belt in, and just secure the seatbelt some other way. If you want to pull the whole thing out, well, I dunno.

hummm i may leave the belt in for a little whil yet see how i go

mr_mopar_neon · Post by **mr_mopar_neon** » Sat Nov 08, 2008 9:58 am

right good new

i got my seats in and the beeping and ligth for not having your seat belt on gose of if you tack the wire out of the bottom of the belt.

i got rid of my belts in the end i find it of with the harnesess just cant get into the glove box with it on

as for the air bag ligth thats still on am going to put a cover over it next time am in the dash board

I think another possible option is to get an airbag control module from a neon that didn't have airbag seats.
