Disconnecting the battery is often times not enough to disable the airbag. There are capacitors in the car holding charge for up to even a couple hours after the battery is disconnected to ensure the airbag works in the event the battery is disconnected in a crash. Also the airbag can trigger off of the most minimal volatage. So its best to wait an hour to be safe if your going to be disconnecting it.

cant you just short the battery wires together to discharge them?
@mrs_radrod4 жыл бұрын
Isn’t it the signal wire that the airbag runs off of and not just power? I would be honestly surprised if airbags actually fired during removal. I don’t have any experience to definitively say that they are safe or unsafe, but you do sit behind them all day, so I would be surprised that jiggling the wires would make them explode while nailing the horn doesn’t.

Howdy yall, long time tech here. If you're concerned about airbags popping while performing service on your vehicle, disconnecting the battery and shorting the positive and negative cables together (the battery is not in this loop!) Then attempting to start the vehicle will kill all residual electricity in the system. It's what I've done for years and has worked perfectly every time. I've done I have no idea how many Takata inflators. Just a tip for yall to help save some time.
@BurnoutLS184 жыл бұрын
FYI for all those saying you have to wait 30-60 min to discharge the battery: A fast-track way to discharge the capacitors and safely remove the air bag is to press the brake pedal a few times after you disconnect the battery. The brake lights typically will attempt to pull enough current to juice out any residual energy stored in vehicle capacitance. I do it all the time for my E36/E38/E39s with SRS service.

Need to do the swap for every time doing MOT in Sweden. So, here are a couple of complementary details: * after disconnecting the battery, drain every lasting current by turning key to ignition position. That should send power to at least relays, fuel pump prime, lights and stereo. * when trying friends steering wheels, keep an eye on instrument panel, as the smaller wheels has a great chance to be in the sight of vision and hide tach and speedo partly. Adjust seat and check head-to-roof clearance too! Good luck with fixing those ergonomics!

While it might not seem like a big deal, after years of soldering and breathing that in, it could cause respiratory issues.

Need to watch if you're installing racing harnesses, alot people go for 4 point thinking it's an improvement in safety, these are notoriously unsafe due to submarining because there is nothing to stop your body sliding down and out, this is where a 5 point harness is preferable. Really there is nothing wrong with a stock seatbelt which connects at an angle to pinch your body in place during a crash, on a 94 mx5 a fresh set of OEM seatbelts wouldnt go a miss though as all things in this life have an expiration.

For soldering, I wouldn’t recommend a soldering gun. I used a 150W soldering gun for years and it worked ok, but took a very long time to heat up and as soon as you let off the trigger it would rapidly cool. After 6 years of using that I tried a digital soldering station and never looked back. I use a Weller WES51 soldering station which is absolutely phenomenal, and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who needs to solder anything. Also the Trakpower TK950 and TK955 are both great options too. And please, always solder your connections and use heat shrink instead of those crappy crimp connectors.. You get much less resistance and cleaner wiring if you just solder everything. Yes it’s a little more expensive but you don’t want to cheap out on your car’s electronics. Also I’m not sure if putting a 3000 Ohm resistor is the right call for every vehicle, some may need difference resistances. I suppose you could measure the resistance across the terminals of the airbag and see what that reads as, then add an equivalent resistance resistor in place of the 3000 Ohm one used in the video

Make sure you clean that flux off that you used, leaving it there over time will promote corrosion as it prevents the metals from oxidizing creating a sacrificial protective layer (Think stainless or aluminium). Most solder today have a flux core so that you do not need to mess around with a separate flux.

I got mine a while back and I love it! Heard that I could get ticketed because of the no airbag, but after a couple cop encounters, never once have they ever mentioned it, so I do not think it is a problem. I have yet to get bucket seats/4 point harness/harness bar, but I will soon. 😎
@greenpudding2609 Жыл бұрын
I was also worried about getting ticketed for it, Do you think it’d be worth getting an aftermarket wheel?

I have a kei car and I'm tall so I'm not particularly sure on how safe the airbag is for me and I could probably control the car better if my legs didn't touch the steering wheel near constantly. I need some extra room so this video was very very very helpful. The airbag doesn't deploy electronically which is weird. I know you have to wait on a lot of cars to discharge electricity from capacitors. I just need to be stupid careful because I think it's only based on a pin sliding and G-Force.

I replaced my steering wheel with another oem one, but the new one was leather! Pretty old leather, but still made driving my car way more enjoyable than I thought.
