I have a 97 with an airbag, looking at buying an aftermarket wheel next month, my main question is if i do put one in, is there any way i can prevent the airbag light from staying light up constantly afterword? and no im not just gonna pull the bulb out... just saying.

 

pretend.

Electrical tape.

 

There are a lot of threads about this already. Especially over at miata.net.

 

should of known, should of google'd lol

 

Works great. Also helps with seat belt light

 

Yeah do a search there is the resistor method and the jumper method. Or the remove the bulb method but the first two will let your passenger airbag still function.

 

Should have stayed in school.

 

everyone has there moments, and ill be getting my second degree this may

 

will do prolly will go with the resistor from first impressions

 

This may be a bit too late, and sorry for bringing up an old post, but taking out the bulb will cause your car to beep 5 times every minute for 25 minutes, every hour. Also, removing the driver side airbag will disable the passenger side as well. Personally, i just let the light flash, but you can always take the light out, and then remove all components of the airbag system under the dash. Great weight reduction mod as well!

 

Christ.

 

I'd be less worried about the bulb and more on the face smacking on the steering w/o air bags. Try to replace your seat belt to ones that don't give in. The ones you have are designed to work together with airbags.

 

Its kind of hard to find those candian market 89-93 non-airbag belts though. Its easier to pull the stitching out of the stock belt and just move the stopper jewel further down the belt.
