Battery cable squib resistance
Does anyone know the resistance of the pos. battery cable squib?(the yellow piece on the end of the battery cable).
Rather than replacing the entire battery cable I have reconnected the part that blows off in an accident. To extinguish the Airbag light requires a resistor to be put in place of the squib.
I have reset the airbag light after putting in a 3.2 ohm resistor, but I was just wondering if anyone has the actual, correct resistance?
Thanks.

3.2 ohm 5 watt resistor in place of squib
The resistor is under the black shrink wrap in the photo.
remove the 2 wires that go into the yellow cap on the battery terminal. Those are the ones that fire the squib.
Place the resistor across the 2 wires.
Reset SRS computer.
Good as new.
Good luck

I have a 07 mini cooper and the air bag lights been on for 6 months for no apparent reason. I have it turned off at the garage but it comes back on after a couple of hours.
The garage tell me I need a new Ring Squib but can not explain why. does any body have any ideas what goes wrong with the ring squib and if its true that it costs 500 GDP.
Any more help on the resistor fix would be more than welcomed.
Many thanks

Thanks for the fix info! I have an '06 S and the air bag light is on. At first, I thought it might be the seat sensor, but perhaps it is the ring squib.
How were you able to determine that your battery cable needed replacement and what method did you use to reset the SRS computer after installing the resistor?
Thanks again!
