I'm Back - 940 Seats - DEATH DANGER WARNING!!! 900 1994

Dear jwalker,

Hope you're well. D E A T H - D A N G E R - W A R N I N G ! ! !

Before trying to remove the driver's seat in any 940 sold in North America, remove the negative battery cable clamp from the battery terminal, and put the clamp in a plastic bag, to isolate it. Then wait 20 minutes.

This cuts power supply to the SRS (Airbag) System and allows time for any energized components to discharge.

The airbag sensor is under the driver's seat, affixed to the floor pan.

If this sensor is banged - for example, if you drop the seat on it, or drop a tool on it - the airbag could deploy. This can be lethal, at close quarters.

An airbag deployment will also be costly: a new sensor is about $1,200. A new airbag is about the same. Both seatbelt units will also need to be replaced: they have pyrotechnic pre-tensioners, that lock the belts, when the airbags deploy. All SRS cables also have to be replaced. An airbag deployment often will crack the windshield.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
