Default This dashboard is killing me. How the f do i get the airbag **** disconnected?

My dash is stuck on the passenger side airbag parts. I've undone erry nut i could see and it's still getting stuck on the parts behind the glovebox. I want to cut this pos in half for giving me such a hard time.

Ask your idiot boss, the one that hired you, on how to do that? Or look in helms/fsm manual?

HINT: Not hard.

I doubt the helms manual includes anything since it was written for the 1992 model year and the passenger side airbag was added in 1994 (maybe 95)

If its like my sol, you take the box out, then undo the bag from there. there's 4 nuts holding the trimpiece on.. VERY TOP piece, feel around for them.

Be careful and unplug the bag!

On the 94-95 you have to do more than just unplug the air bag. The passenger side also has the red short connector you put on the airbag plug.

First you drop the glovebox, then there is an access panel straight up with one of those plastic screws that exposes the plugs and the red safety cap in it's holder.

Once you undo the plug from the harness and put the red short cap onto the air bag side of the plug, then you can get to 3 of the four nuts holding the air bag in place with a regular extension on a 10mm socket. The firewall driver side nut is a bit more challenging and requires a swivel but is still do able.

Once all four nuts are removed, the airbag comes right out with ease.

I just did this a few weeks ago on the 95 EX I have in the basement.

Thanks guys turns out i missed those nuts, after that the airbag came out and then the dash was very easy to pull out.

Back to my thread about wiring. Thanks again btw.

Such condescension from the guy who didn't even know about a laser tachometer to properly set idle.

Really Tony?

Glad everything goes perfectly for you every time and you never have struggles ever and NEVER have to ask for help, ever.

I didn't hear about the tool, but I did figure out how it worked afterwards by testing it out w/o even reading the tiny pamphlet. Mounting a good spot for the reflective tape was something I had to question because I was wondering if the tape had to be on on the belt, the crank, the teeth of the crank, etc..etc...

My point is we all have challenges when doing things, especially for the first time.

There is absolutely no need to treat people like **** with ridicule when they ask for help on their current challenge.

It's something I've seen you do multiple times and I feel it's not helpful or productive in any manner.

Please curb this kind of activity when you feel the urge to be like Sheldon and belittle everything and everyone.

Thank you.

Its actually something the OP said in the GDD

wanting to be an intern but calling your employer's stupid.....just because you call people above you, you know the one's who are going to hire you(the ones with experience) stupid, and game them into hiring you as an intern didn't sit well to me. More to it but this is tech. I'll leave it alone.
