Facelift Passenger Airbag Removal
« on: 09 June 2015, 19:01:59 »
I am dismantling a 2000 V6 and have got to the Passenger Airbag (The one in the dashboard above the glove compartment).  The battery was removed a few days ago.  I have removed everything from around the actual airbag.  Am I OK to just remove it now and snip the wires or is there anything else I need to do first?  Thanks.

Thanks.  I have seen a utube video of one being unplugged and it seemed to take longer than it would to snip the wires, that was the reason I suggested cutting them.  Is it safe after the wires are removed, or is it safe anyway seeing as the battery has been disconnected a few days?

Will be fine to unplug it if the battery has been disconnected for more than 20mins.

Remember the safest place to store it will be under the cushion of your Mrs' favourite lounge seat prewired to a 12v battery with a time switch set for five mins after Coronation street starts.

I agree this would be reasonable, as long as the missus gets a drink out of it. :y

Not sure why you'd want to snip the wires, aside from feeling a bit like a bomb disposal guy in a War film... as opposed to just unplugging it. I take it this is for a car you're breaking, and hence damage to the loom isn't an issue?

You could always get someone else to unplug it.

Mention it casually, "would you just unplug that while I get the beers?"
