THAT's buyer is coming this afternoon. I remembered that I had disabled the passenger side airbag for my grandson (disconnected and jumped with a resistor based on info from Rennlist). This morning I am swapping in some nicer (no cracks in the leather) seats and restoring the airbag function. ...plus found out that an H7 headlight bulb was out.
I never really had time to prep the car for sale until this morning.

Hope all went well with selling the car! I will have to do this mod on the airbag in my car too, once it runs. Do you happen to remember the value of the resistor?

I think I used a 2.8 Ohm 1/4 watt. Various Porsche forums show from 2.2 - 3.2 Ohm works.

Great, thanks for the info. I`m thinking of adding a switch to disable/enable the airbag on demand.
