Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

It has to be said that a disconnected (removed from the car) airbag is never safe.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Would like to know safe procedure to immobilize air bags while working on steering wheel and door panels. Need to dissassemble and work on interior.

POST 2Original post

Just disconnect the negative side of the battery.

POST 3Original post

... , isolate the negative terminal and then wait for one minute before starting work. It has to be said that a disconnected (removed from the car) airbag is never safe. There have been numerous documented accidents where airbags went off for no apparent reason. When I was disassembling competitors' cars for a living, nobody on my team of technicians was too keen to get working on the airbag or belt tensioner units. If you must carry or store an airbag, always carry it with the base plate to the floor. If it goes off, at least you only get the bag into your face and not the base plate, which can kill you. Also, do not hold it by the side (fingers underneath and thumbs on top), because if it goes off, it rips off your thumps. This has happened. Cheers, Uwe
