Side impact system 850

posted by  someone claiming to be ksg on  Mon Sep 26 02:07 CST 2005 [RELATED]

The 850s with side air bags have a sensor built into the side seat rail. On the driver side it is near the power seat controls. These air bags are mechanically, not electrically actuated, so removing the battery connection is not protective. There is supposed to be a cover for the sensor which is stowed somewhere in the seat assembly and placed on the sensor to protect it during work. On my car I did not find this so I worked carefully. See a Haynes manual on the 850 for details.
