how do you pull out the ignition cylinder? Just need to swap mine out before i get completely locked out.

I have a haynes book but it is predictably useless.

ok i read through that thread, but I do have an airbag, one besides my mother in law that is. I know I need to disconnect the battery etc. but what do i need to do to pull the wheel with that airbag in the way. I told it to get the heck outta the way but it doesn't listen any better than the mother in law.

Disconnect battery and pull airbag fuse. Then get at the screws behind the wheel to pull the air bag out. Then disconnect the wiring. The rest is as follows.

Do bagged thirdgens have clock springs?

Ok which fuse is the airbag? I see one that say SIR a 10 amp is that the guy? I really don't want it to blow up in my face.Battery is disconnected, but as I was removing the screws I saw it moving normal I know,but it skeeter me.it would really ruin my night to blow the airbag

It's actually pretty hard to set them off. SIR should be Safety Inflatible Restraint. So yes.

And with the battery disco, it shoudn't blow up. I don't even mess with the fuse, just the battery. There has to be an electrical charge to trigger the bag.

Ok how do you bypass VATS.and please tell me it's in the steering column

Al Hasse · Posted: Fri Jun 19, 2009 7:57 pm Post subject:

It can be done in the column, I suppose. The easiest way is under the dash.

Post #5 has a good how to.

Guess what I just did

Wrong.

You know that little bitty lock ring that goes to hold the lock plate in, well I sort of sent flying across the old yard. And here I was that guy that was happy. Where am I gonna find another one of those little guys I kind of need it it looked important.

Haha, that's why I have a giant magnet on a stick. I've lost so many metal stuff in the yard and in the driveway, that my dad made me this "metal detector" when I was a kid and to use it to find any thing that was lost.
