    I have an 08 and tried the airbag block off with a resistor 1/4w 2.2 and 2.0ohm. I even flipped both the resistors around thinking it was backwards. I still have the red airbag error on my dash. I went in and checked the errors on the nav and dont see any.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Pardon my ignorance: what are you doing with the airbag?

    OK that did it. The stupid loopback on the seatbelt was the issue. Once I plugged in the seatbelt arm and sensor all was good. What a pain. You have a be a Nasa scientist to change seats.
