Has anyone put a screen were the passenger airbag is?

[txhoescrapin]

If so How do I remove the airbag?

 

[retorq]

Crash into something at 35/40 MPH and let it go off. Then take it out.

Lol bolted in from the back most likely

Disconnect you battery first. Since you removing ir fot a screen I'd just cut it out.

 

[riviera rider]

ya definitely make sure there is no power going to it or you will hurt yourself

If you can save the airbag without it going off you can sell it for the price of an LCD screen that is going to take it's place. People are always looking for them because they are expensive and the insurance usually totals something when the airbags go off.

I must admit I am a little weary of messing with live airbags. So if the batt is disconected there is no way it can blow? Really makes me nervous messing with it. But it is a mod I want, and I am doing all the work on this project. Nice to know about selling them. Thnaks for all the info guys.

Also the thought of it exlpoding is quite funny, just not on me.

I'll tell you man when thos things blow it is not fun if you are gonna blow it to make it easier try to quarren off the area using wet bed sheets to catch that freakin power that comes out with the bag. Also BE OUT OF THE WAY they hurt like hell.

Wanted to add, if you disconnect the battery then disconnect the impact sensors in the bumper it night not blow I'm not sure on this though, if you do disconnect them be gentle, there should be a sticker on or around the fan shroud that tells you where the airbag sensors are. Hell you might be able to cover your ass by removing the fuse, sensors, and battery all together but i don't know for sure

scary stuff

If I was really set on this mod, I wouldnt risk getting popped in the face...I would probably wrap the area where the bag deploys up really well with damp cloth, but not too tightly so the bag can fully inflate without cracking your dash or damaging the the windows or windshield...then set those bad boys off with the truck doors open. Not sure the process of only inflating the passenger side bag and not the drivers side, Im sure it can be done...perhaps not at the sensor though. This is probably one of the most nerve racking mods I've seen.

There is no driver airbag. Not sure I want to purposely set them off.

Honestly installing my clifford alarm has me more nervous.

I have done quite a bit of training on vehicle extrication and so forth involving airbags. Just because the battery is disconnected, the fuse is out, so on and so on does not necissarily mean that the airbag wont deploy. Also, im pretty certain that there is no easy way of setting off the airbags manually because the motion sensors require movement, then a sudden stop (although i have seen them set off after the wires have been cut and they were attatched to a 12v battery). Not sure if this makes sense to any one, or helps at all but i figured id chime in.

 

[blackcoffee]

I suggest you don't do this...

 

[drowndindreams]

disconnect the battery. open up the dash. unplug any wires under the passenger airbag that are wrapped in yellow plastic. those are your airbag wires. then pull it out

I knew a guy years ago who put a PS2 (The big 1st gen ones) in the area whee the airbag goes. This was on a 98-99 Tahoe. I've never seen it done on a 00-06 though, but I'm sure anything is possible. I hear that to properly disconnect the airbag you have to disconnect BOTH battery termainals and wait at least 15 mins before unplugging any of the airbag wiring.

 

[riviera rider]

as long as there is no power you can NOT set it off

if you want to set if off after u take it out hook it up to a jumper box with about 20 ft of speaker wire then flip the jumper box on and booom

disclaimer!!!! i am not liable for you hurting urself i do not reccomend this just sell it tosomeone that can use it! lol

 

[blackbeast]

its pretty hard to set it off, i recently took out my whole dash had the airbag unplugged and everything. honestly u have nothing to worry about just disconnect the battery terms and u should be golden. btw anyone have any pictures of people that have done this mod?

 

[riviera rider]

just remember if you do this your airbag lite will be on, thats why i wouldnt do it
