Subject: Airbag Removal

Date: 	Sun, 1 Feb 1998 20:31:11 +0000



In anticipation of installing a MOMO wheel, today Wilson Chai and I

removed my airbag, leaving the OE steering wheel in place for the

nonce.  Then I removed the bulb for the airbag warning light.  As I

anticipated (having read the enthusiast's manual), removing that bulb

causes a beep to sound several times whenever I turn on the ignition.



Does anyone know how to disconnect the module that sounds the beep

tones?  I know I could simply have bridged the airbag wires with a

resistor.  However, I plan also to remove the crash sensor by the hood

latch, so I need to disable the entire warning system.  Therefore, I

would like to disable the module.  Thanks in advance!
