I have some from Amazon, 2.2ohms, 2.7ohms and 3.3ohms

I found the 3.3ohms to be the most successful, we solder a couple of fly leads to the ends for testing
Few months back we had a Mercedes in with a passenger side door airbag fault, Mercedes wanted silly money to replace airbag, looms etc. We just started at the airbag and substituted with the 3.3ohm resistor coming back along the loom, found a connector under the door step channel put the resistor in and the light stayed off. This was a bad connection on the connector so just cut and soldered. Still off after a few months and customer very happy
We have a 1999 Astra for a spare car (only driven by me, not lent to customers) the airbag light has been on for couple of years but needed to be off for MOT last month. The code was for the passenger seat belt pretensioner so put the resistor across the connector and the light went out (cleared code first).........resistor is still there and light still out, so front airbags will still work. One of the 3 should normally work
Just don't use any test meters
