Default resistor for airbag delete

I removed both of my airbags on my 2000 RCSB and I figured if I leave the module hooked up, and put a resistor in line where the airbags were, I should be able to eliminate a light, right? If so, does anyone know the correct ohms, or possibly another way to avoid a light.

Same question here. Also noticed there are wires hooked up to the seats on mine that control the automatic pass side airbag.

test the airbag using a NON-CURRENT-INDUCING ohm-meter (an analog meter is usually safe....avoid a digital meter as it may make the airbag detonate ) to see what the airbag's actual resistance is, then go buy a resistor of the value (+/- 10% is OK)

Why did you choose to pull the airbags?

well I could do that, but I would rather come up with an extremely complicated solution involving numerous devices that could both injure me and or destroy my truck. Only then will I be fully satisfied in knowing the problem is fixed.

Or you could just pull the bulb for me ***...
