Default resistor in SRS and ABS circuits?

The previous owner put an aftermarket steering wheel on this 94 LS (which i promptly replaced with a higher quality one). The SRS light is on since the airbag was removed. I know that by installing a resistor in the circuit the light will go off. Where will i find the wire to install a resistor, and what rating should it be. Also, how do i go about doing it, is it a simple solder job?

He also disconnected the ABS. Therefore, the ABS light is on too. Where in the circuit do i install the resistor, what rating should the resistor be, and where will i find the necessary wire to pull this off.

Thank you fellas.

that would work too. Compared to the 92-95 civic dash removal (which has the driver and center vents attached to the black trim piece that is part of the gauge housing), how difficult is the dash removal on the integra?

Two screws at the top of the black bezel around the cluster, then just the three screws holding the cluster in place and thats it.

That link lists what you need if you want to use the resistor. Locations should be roughly the same.

If you go with removing the bulbs, while you're at it you could put in some white (or another colour of your choice) LEDs for the gauge faces.

Dude that's awesome. The civic requires you to remove the clock, remove the trim, and then remove the cluster. A lot of hassle. While i was in there though I went ahead and cut the clock dimmer wire so when i turn on the headlights the clock still stays at full brightness (for like driving in heavy rain during the day)

No worries on that here. So I see how to remove the cluster, but how do i get to the bulbs? Is there anything i need to be careful of?

Bulbs sit inside holders that just twist in and out on the back of the cluster. There really isn't much damage you can do accidentally back there, just make sure you dont rip the green film on the back of the cluster. And if its never been taken out before you may have a clip holding the harness to the cluster that may have to be undone.

I forget those kinds of things exist, you'll have to forgive me. Yeah, in Alabama you can pretty much get away with anything which is a double edged blade in of itself.

Okay. Got the ABS light out. But there is no SRS light, at least not on the back. There are two bulbs, one for the door light, one for the seatbelt light. I took both of em out and plugged in the yellow cable and the SRS still lights up. Where is the bulb?

Ok so since you have both lights you are trying to get off you should just be able to unplug the yellow plug on the back of your cluster.

That yellow cable you plugged in is the srs lead for the cluster. Leave it undone and you shouldn't see the light come on anymore.
