Airbag light removal
Monday, March 13, 2006 6:09 AM
Does any one have any suggestions for how to remove the airbag light from the cluster? I got a sparco wheel and that little red light is annoying the crap out of me. I know that I can't remove the needles on the cluster so how should I remove the little light? Thanks a lot for any help.

i'm sure about the 03+ cavi's but on mine i just put a piece of electrical tape on the back cover. this allows the light to still be on, but you dont see it. out of sight, out of mind

^^^tru. im not sure how your state is, but here in NY they can fail your inspection if you have more than 1 light on, or i believe 1/2 codes and a light. ive had my light on for about a year and a half, but i plan to buy asimulator soon. its only like $30 or so

Stupid question here....

I'll need the passenger and driver if I have NO airbags right? Just asking since I've never seen one of these before and want to make sure the light actually goes off when I hook this up!




Eh...old man with a Corvette now...it was bound to happen sooner rather than later right?

So eazy connecting this will make the system think that it has an air bag? Kindof like when you do the DRL disable it thinks that the head lights are on? If so I might have to pick one of these up asap.

^^^yup. it sends a charged signal to it, making the computer think its receiving the airbag signal, and @!#$s the light off.

im pretty sure you only need on of these to turn the light off since both airbags are on the same circuit, and send the same charge thru one signal.

I was doing some more research on it and i found out that if your air bag light is on, then neither airbag works. So I'm going with the air bag simulator so I know that my passenger bag will work ina serious wreak because that's the last thing I need is my wife getting in a serious wreak with me and getting injured. But thanks for all the suggestions.

^^^^i dont think it will work either way. if one dosent work, the other dosent work. as far as i know. all the airbag sim does is turn the light off. thats it

removing the bulb or putting some electrical tape over the airbag emblem on the back of the face is free, why buy a sim lol

When the air bag light is on, both airbags aren't working. So if you want your passenger to be safe a sim would be a good idea. If there's no problems with the airbags system, the passenger one SHOULD be working!!!

^^that would be awesome, but i would get that in writing from the company before i assumed that

that would be a double bonus if that really works!!
