Passenger airbag questions

[Baj]

1) Any tips on removing the dash without blowing the airbag?

2) I have decided I dont want to lose the spare wheel so the PC will need to go into the glovebox. See wobbly image

I can mount an ali plate at the top of the glovebox hole and hang the motherboard off that BUT is there ANY chance the PC could set off the airbag?

Disclaimer :- *Firstly I am no expert, double check everything I am telling you*

When I removed my last passenger airbag (pug 406) I disconnected a single yellow wire from the back of the airbag unit, this seemed to deactivate it enough for me to wourk around it and remove it, I was told to disconnect the battery for ten mins first.

I very much doubt the PC will interfere with the airbag though, although do consider the heat dissapation factors.

Dont remember seeing anything that would cause a problem but im no expert

[Baj]

Cool. What about point 1?

[Vikingxl]

Yeah negative lead off the battery for ten minutes and then be gentle!

[Baj]

If I have the airbag out and unconnected can I connect the battery again?
I dont want to leave it overnight without the alarm!?!?!?

Please

Please

errr, if the airbag is out, I don't see an issue, I dont think the system will set them off in it's absence just use 'gentle hands' with the airbags, you really don't want to damage them.

Don't try suing me for the cost of a load of bloody airbags if this goes nasty though :) It's at your risk :wink:

Well the airbag isnt connected its in my cellar so that isnt a worry.
Will I get SRS lights forever?

I will offer odds of 50/50

yea, that's a tricky one, just leave a police aware sticker on the windscreen, nobody'l nick it then. :)

Take the battery out of the car, along with the dizzy cap, then lock the door manually, a lot less risky i think.

I have no locks on the outside of my car :)
