I am wondering about anyone's experience with the spoon steering wheel hub for those of you who had switched their wheels out.

I have one of these hubs, and measured the fuse looking resistor at 1.8ohms. I am of the understanding that the system checks for a 2ohm resistance in the airbag, otherwise it detects a "fault". Has anyone used it successfully (without it throwing the light)?

If it still did not fool the srs, what did you end up doing?

My brother tried it, and he says his still shows a light. I am getting my steering wheel in soon, so figured I would ask around before i ended up like:

thanks in advance,

I changed my steering wheel as well but I was using HKB hub adaptors. The light didn't come on.

Bassem

does hkb sell the eliminator separately?

thanks for responding,

all the eliminator is..is a 2ohm resistor.

Bassem

vapors...thats what i thought. i measured the resistance of the spoon resistor and it was 1.8ohm. the resistance of the resistor and the wires was 2.2ohms...would that slightly higher resistance make the difference?

probably not. I'm using 2 1ohm resistors for each of my seat belt retractors wired in series to get 2 ohm b/c my electronics shop is out of 2 ohm resistors.

Bassem

considering ceramic resitors are rated to be within 10% and the normal resistors are usually 3 or 5%...i guess that should alright then.

thanks
