Need help ASAP (airbag question)
I am trying to wrap the steering whell controls in carbon fiber and i am following the DIY posted here https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...k-warning.html but I came across a problem i already have the aribag popped out but i have not disconected it because the DIY does not show what to do, so ive tried just pulling on the clips but i feel i might break them how do i completely remove the airbag, and is there a specific order to remove them? thank you so much if your able to help

I can't remember exactly on the is but a yellow plug should go into a clockspring. To release the yellow plug there are two tab's which need to be depressed. Move careful those plugs are very fragile. See if you can just move the bag and hold it up with a coathanger or something just to keep it out of the way instead of disconnecting it. I've seen them deploy when being installed and scared the crap out of us.

Got it, on the yellow tap in the orange plug lift's straight out, use a small standard screwdriver and pull the tab out, from there the orange plug will come straight out, should be same for the black plug. The plugs are like 90 degree plugs right? From the looks of the DIY thread, you should be able to do it without disconnecting the bag

I did the steering damper yesterday without disconnect the neg battery, I just unplug the 2 yellow airbag cables and the black wire from the airbag, so took the airbag off completely, after I installed the damper I connect everything back, and they work just fine, there is not thing to worry as long as you don't turn on the car while you doing that, you be ok

king06, you do not need to actually completely take out the airbag. as indicated in the guide, you simply keep the airbag held with one hand and you can remove the screws and the switch controls with the other. There is no need to completely disconnect the airbag
