Now to remove the airbag I read that the battery has to be disconnected for 30mins approx, I am right in saying before I disconnect the battery I should turn on the ignition to stop alarm going off ?

If that is the case do I leave the keys in the ignition until I reconnect the battery with the new wheel fitted ?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've had a search on the subject and couldn't really see what I was looking for. Now to remove the airbag I read that the battery has to be disconnected for 30mins approx, I am right in saying before I disconnect the battery I should turn on the ignition to stop alarm going off ? If that is the case do I leave the keys in the ignition until I reconnect the battery with the new wheel fitted ?

POST 3Original post

No just for when you remove or re-attached the battery terminals.

POST 4Original post

i'll just clarify .. Ignition on .. lights on dash illuminated .. disconnect the battery earth lead .. wait 10 mins then remove the airbag and steering wheel .. refit with new . Reconnect the battery negative lead ( earth lead ) ... turn off ignition as its job done .

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the help guys. I've got the airbag separated from the wheel now but I can seem to get the connector out that holds the bag to the wheel, is there a technique to this, tried giving it a pull but no joy
