Air bag soldering?
Sunday, October 27, 2013 2:53 PM
So I used to have a aftermarket wheel cut my clock spring air bag wire like a lazy ass.
I now have a Ss wheel and a sunfire clock spring, amazingly I kept my stock air bag wire I snipped not the clock spring.
I have looked this up on numbers of forms!!!!!!
Seen its ok to solder air bag wires, air bag systems aren't that touchy you can solder, NEVER solder a airbag wire!

What are your guys thoughts I don't want it blowing in my face or my cobalt air bag things aren't cheap!

DO NOT SOLDER AIR BAG WIRES!!!

airbag systems work by means of resistance. when you solder wires you are changing the resistance of that wire and can cause major issues including unwanted deployment of the bag. be smart about it and replace the harness. these cars are a dime a dozen in scrap yards, im sure you can get one cheap.

I have a harness from a sunfire so I can keep the Ss cobalt swc but the airbag plug from 00 or 02 below are different then Eco years
