Comment on Housing for resistor?

You can get panel mount resistors. They are usually rated at way higher wattage though.
I would probably just heat shrink the resistor. Your harness should be reasonably secure anyway.
I would question why you need a 2.2ohm 1/2w resistor in a harness in the first place though.

To fool the computer into not throwing an airbag light and disabling all the airbags. I have an early 00s car that swings double duty as street car and track car and when I pull the driver’s seat out for a race seat, the airbag light shows up. Then I go through a rigamarole to reset the light once everything is swapped and plugged in again. It’s a common mod, but just people usually cut up the harness. I’d like to keep things neat and tidy so I bought the seat side of the harness and want to cut the plug off, solder on the resistor and plug it in.
