disconnect the air bag, get an after market steering wheel, and you'll have no problem. except for the blinking air bag light!

The blue box is the air bag control modual, I know that for a fact. If you plan on keeping your air bag system working, It would be advisable not to modifiy the location of the modual or the wiring in any way. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

its my understanding that even with the battery disconnected it can still go off. it has capicitors or something to store some trigger voltage. i could be wrong but i've read this a few times.

If you have the battery disconnected for like 15-20 minutes than he'll be just fine ![[Cool]](cool.gif)
