I'm trying to remove the heater core in my 92 eg. It's leaking all over the interior. The hanes manual said that I needed to deactivate the airbag before attempting this. I am a noob and haven't worked on cars much.

Do you have any tips for this?

Do I have to deactivate the airbag or can I just go ahead with removing the heater core?
thanx for any help

 

to deactivate it probaly means to disconnect the battery. just disconnect the battery and you should be fine

 

ok.. I thought there was some kind of backup power source or some kind of failsafe machanism.

 

Isnt there a fuse you can pull so it wont work?

 

i just installed a quick release on my car last weekend.

disconnect the battery, pump the brakes, wait a few minutes.

if you really want to dissable the system, remove steering cover, follow the yellow SRS lines to the bottom of the steering wheel, find the clip, and un plug it.

it would be easier just to remove the whole airbag with 2 star screws.

 

just disconnect the battery and unplug the airbag, the yellow clip should be close by

 

thanx guys
