air bag removal

[Nyck]

I'm wanting to install a new multifunction switch on my steering column but i checked the hma site for how to removed the steering wheel/airbag and the pictures where not working. I also did a search and checked numberous posts but they had deadlinks. x_x

Anyone want to tell me how to get the steering wheel and airbag out? I'm scared the airbag will deploy if i do something wrong....does unplugging my negative terminal drain all the charge from the airbag so i can not worry about it deploying? ?_?

there are 2 covers on the side of the wheel, pop them off, you will need a star bit, unscrew those, they will NOT come out, just loose, then once both are loose, pull the air bag out, and disconnect the 2 connectors

FIRST disconnect the negative battery cable. No need to have the airbag going off in your face...

sorry...i thought he already knew to do that, and didnt include it in my directions...i read the 2nd paragraph too quickly

[ricerrx7]

Oops, I guess I didn't read the second paragraph at all.

Let us know how it goes, I'm planning on installing a new steering wheel (without an airbag) as well. :)
