What to buy? Upgrade steering wheel without airbag/ traction control dash lights?

I have replaced almost all the OEM interior pieces the body touches from my 2013 FRS, including seats, steering wheel, shift knob, etc.

These items came with airbags/safety resistors and I believe they're not working.

I have a weight sensor resistor for the harness that goes to the driver's seat.

I'm using a Worksbell hub and the Gerald Just Projects Cruise control and horn hub.

I have ABS lights and airbag lights on.

Who successfully turned off the dash lights with resistors and links to share/purchase?

Unplug the airbag module completely :thumbup:. It's behind the little cubby underneath the HVAC. Pop that thing out, and unplug the harness that's RIGHT there.

ABS light is probably unrelated to all of that though.

If you removed the clockspring or the altered its alignment, the abs and traction systems will have errors because it can’t correctly calculate the steering angle.

If this is a street car, don’t be a muppet, restore the safety equipment.
If it’s a dedicated track car, put some black tape over the warning lights.

The clock spring hasn't been removed, I put some resistors in there but they're most likely the wrong resistance.

I can't get the cruise control to function with the ABS lights on.

I'm looking for a resistor that can replicate the resistance of the clock spring then!

Mostly track car. I'll take it around the block to get coffee every once in a while. I have a daily.

You can’t just replicate the resistance of the clockspring, it has an angle sensor built in and the center point has to be calibrated in the computer before things like power steering, abs, traction control, cruise, etc. will work.

I see! Sounds like I need to figure out how to recalibrate the clockspring/ steering angle sensors.

Hope you don't get pulled over and the cops a ****.

Not a problem for me where I live so far.

I was able to realign the clock spring and get the abs lights to go away, but now the horn and cruise control don't work.

I think I damaged the clock spring so I'll be replacing it.
