Yes that's correct Mate, the rules were changed back in 2013. So I need to have the light not on. But also, I can't remove the bulb as that may fail also.

There must be a way around it as the MK1 RS the seats came out of obviously didn't have seat airbags

I've tried ELM and software, but it doesn't give me the option to turn off the seat airbag

So I'm working through resistors ate present

any help would be appreciated
