where to find resistors?

Hi all,

I am looking for couple of 3.0ohm resistors and it seems local stores do not carry these. If anyone have these or know where to buy them, please let me know, thank you.

 

circuit city?

 

will check but i doubt it

 

i know they have a HUGE rack of them, usually where i go to get some.

 

radio shack or fryes

 

^^^ yup.

 

negative on radioshack

 

hmm..interesting..I have had really good luck with radio shack in the past. It might be store specific though..try fryes next

 

I called several Radioshack, checking with Fryes now

 

3ohm? or 3kohm

 

3.0 ohm

 

radio shack should be able to order you some if you need it.

 

AudioLabs off of Buford hwy will have them in stock.

 

Do you have a number? can't seem to find their address

Fry's have them, quick question how many watts do you guys think the 3ohm should be? I would assume as long as the rated wattage level is higher than the actual current, I should be good to go?

 

Also just make sure the resistor will fit on the board/area you are using it in. The higher the wattage the bigger the resistor.

Thanks guys for the help, I think I'm going to go with a smallest resistor to fit inside the air sensor plug, will drop by the Audio Lab thanks to integriod

For reference, for those that are getting different seats, you will need these resistors to bypass the side airbags and turn off the airbag light while keeping rest of the SRS system functional

 

Would a 2.7 ohm 2w resistor work? I have quite a few of these.

For Joe's car, I think we paralleled 4 - 12ohm resistors that he found at Radio Shack.

 

you can't really find 3ohm resistors without ordering them.

best bet is to use (3) 10ohm resistors in parallel. I've done this with mine and it will work fine. they have 10ohm @ ratshack

 

Just picked up 3.3ohm 1/4watt resistors at Audio Lab of Ga, they have EVERYTHING

 

oh cool. how much were they, 10 cents?
I have 3 10ohms in mine and it's hard to wire them in. I might go pick some up from them

 

awesome..glad you found em locally!

 

They are $.50 each, you will need 3.3ohm resistors to work properly, Extend some wires onto the resistor and they will be easier to wire in

 

Yeah, I have picked up some odd sized resistors, caps, etc from them since the late 80's...THey pretty much have everything you need in stock. You could probably find the resistors cheaper online but after shipping and waiting, it just isnt worth it.

 

yep, it's about a $.30 each online but the wait is not worth it, plus they are local so that's always a big plus, never knew those stores existed off buford highway right along on the side of 285

thanks again for this great find
