Default 06+ aftermarket steering wheel...

I'm about to purchase a Mugen steering wheel, but I'm a little hesitant due to issues people have had with the SRS light. I'm looking into the WorksBell hub, and it advertises that it comes with the SRS light delete, but does this work on an 06+ S2000?

Anyone have experience with an aftermarket steering wheel with NO SRS light on an 06+?

Thanks for any help!

Easy way to find out would be to unplug the airbag connector and run a 2 ohm resistor across the pins (that's what the SRS light delete is), turn the car on and see if you get an SRS light.

Or, you could just pull the SRS light bulb out of the cluster... After pulling the steering wheel, the cluster is only a few more screws away...

We tried that! The resister burns out instantly.

Then just pull the light bulb.

Check your local safety inspection requirements first, I know that NY doesn't require the SRS system to be functional to pass - the inspector is merely required to inform the owner that the SRS system isn't operative.

Thanks for the replies guys.

My main concern for having the light, is that I'd like for the passenger airbag to remain operative.

From the searching I've done so far, it seems that the 06+ S2000's SRS connector is a female, rather than the 00-05 male.

The 06+ SRS System is two-stage, so I believe you actually need two resistors.

Should be easy to figure out. Find resistance of airbag with a multimeter, find resistors of appropriate value, plug them into the right spot. If you are burning out resistors you are using the wrong pins. The pins won't be hot unless the airbag is triggered to go off. Look for yellow connectors - those are the ones associated with the SRS.

if your worried about passanger airbag or light, then why would you even get a aftermarket steering wheel, so your passanger lives but you die? saftey first!
