take the steering wheel off,

get a multimeter and measure the resistance across the airbag terminals

get a resistor of that same value

stick the resistor in between the airbag wires at the boss end

put the new momo on

I always got taught to never put a multimeter on an airbag due to risk of detonation!

why would it detonate?

your not shorting it nor is any power going through it

If it was still on the car then your right, but i did say take it off first
