seatbelt receptacle

Just a reminder that if you have the drivers seat out and turn the ignition on, it will turn on the airbag warning light. This happened to me a couple of months ago when I installed the waterproof immobilizer case. Part of the installation process calls for a test of the systems related to the immobilizer. I chose not to drop the seat back in for the tests because I knew I could clear the light with my Durametric.

I've also had the light come on if I disconnect the battery (for maintenance). More often than not the light will come on when I reconnect the battery. In fact, I EXPECT it to come on when I reconnect the battery. If it doesn't I feel cheated! LOL

I'm preparing for a steering wheel swap and read upon the pages somewhere in here to put the ignition in the ON position, then disconnect the battery. Wait ~15 minute for discharge (YMMV). Remove steering wheel... replace. With ignition off, reconnect battery. Start the car and there should be no airbag light.

Is that correct?

Thank you.

Yes, though leaving the ignition on is unnecessary. Just unhook the battery a good 15 minutes before the job and make sure everything is hooked up and put back together before reconnecting battery.
