Airbag wiring be careful.


Recommended Posts

Interesting vehicle repair clip.  Like most internet postings the comments are close to stand up comedy. I believe the right answer is curtain airbag wiring, don't work in the area with vehicle battery hooked up.

I've heard that even static electricity can set them off.  (When I scrapped out a 93 Chrysler Town & Country I removed the air bag in the steering wheel, strung a long wire to it, and exploded it. It was just as much fun as when I (as a young teenager) connected the capacitors out of an old phonograph to an electrical cord, flipped the breaker off, plugged it in, then flipped the breaker back on - from across the room. Bang!, and bits of paper & foil everywhere. Great fun. (I'm past 70 now, and it still makes me smile.)

There are utube clips of Auto wrecker guys rigging up loose airbags to explode from 40 feet away. Can't believe how high they go up. Havent been brave enough to try it myself. Current airbags are depowered from the original designs. Injuries and worse occuring.

 

Yeah it's amazing as kids more of us didn't off ourselves doing crazy stuff...with firecrackers etc. Lots of close calls.
