So I searched and searched for a 99-00 steering wheel install and decided to take pics and do my own write up.
Part needed for SRS:
2.2ohm 5W resistor found here:
http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?x=10&y=14&lang=en&site=us&KeyWords=SQMW52R2J
Tools Needed:
T30 Torx bit
19mm or 3/4 socket
rachet w/ extension
Phillips screwdriver
Electric spade set
Heat shrink
Heat gun
Soldering iron
Zip Tie
IMPORTANT: Disconnect battery for 30 mins before starting this project. Disabling a SRS airbag might be illegal in your state and I assume no responsibility for you or your car from using this write up to dismantle your SRS system or anything that might occur now or down the road.
1- Pop off the side panels and find the torx screws (1 on each side)
2. youll see the cruise wires, SRS and horn wiring. Unplug everything. Youll notice the horn wire is brown. SRS yellow/green.
3. Next is to remove the wheel. Mark the top of post to mark where the column is pointing.
4. Slide out clock spring assembly
5. The SRS wires are attached to clock spring.. this is where you clip it to attach the resistor.
6. Clip Brown horn wire and pull out of sleeving leaving the cruise wires to be tucked away later.
7. Now how did mine was using a spade with some heatshrink (this will drag on the hub as your positive connection. More on that in a bit.
8. What i did was cut the SRS wires to only have a little bit of wire showing. The Resistor has stiff prongs where i slid it in the wiring jacket and the soldered the wiring to the prong. (dont forget your heatshrink tubing) Heat everything so nothing is touching and its a solid solder.
