Dear saskiepuss,

Good a.m. and may this find you well. When working in/around the steering column, be sure to remove the negative battery cable clamp from the battery terminal, and put the clamp in a plastic bag, to isolate it.

This cuts the flow of power to the SRS - the airbag system. The driver's side airbag is housed in the steering wheel (the sensor is mounted on the floor pan, under the driver's seat). The passenger-side airbag is under the glovebox.

While it is most unlikely that work around the ignition could trigger the airbag, an airbag deployment at close quarters can be very dangerous, even lethal.

Thus, disconnecting the power supply gives you a margin of safety. You'll need the radio security code, to be able to restore the radio to operation. If you don't have the code, any dealer can provide it to you, if you supply the Vehicle Identification Number.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

spook
