Default Steering Wheel Question
I'm looking into getting a different steering wheel. The problem is, I have a 92 so its got an airbag. If I unplug all the crash sensors and remove the airbag will the car still start and drive?

Ok cool. Are you sure that my car will run after the plugs are pulled?

What did you mean the airbag light will be disabled and non-exsistant?

That would be something I would just call the insurance company about.

Also, after you pull the airbag... does the light always come on after that?

Don't worry about the insurance company, worry about the cop!

You should not remove an airbag. It's against the law.

If you remove, change or tamper with an airbag, you can be subject to the Wisconsin Defective Air Bag Law (2001 Wisconsin Act 28). Any person who unlawfully removes or tampers with an airbag can be subject to a fine of not more than $5,000 or imprisonment for not more than one year in a county jail or both.
