Resistor to prevent airbag warning light when removing passenger seat

I am converting a Citroen dispatch 2008 van to a campervan.
I removed the front passenger seats.  When I disconnected a wire below the seat, an airbag warning light came on and an audio warning beep sounded and an error message displayed in the console.
I have been told I need a resistor to fit to the wire.
Does anybody know what this resistor is and where I could buy one.
Really grateful for any help

I used 2 x 0.125w 1ohm resistors, with a 2A fuse in series, so that any fault condition would blow the fuse rather than set the resistors on fire.
Once soldered up, covered it in insulation tape and tucked back under the mat.
Easy to get on eBay.
