Default Airbag fuse??

I want to put my soarer wheel that I bought on ebay and I searched and found the process to do this. What I found told me to pull the airbag fuse so it doesn't discharge... where is the fuse because I cant find it and I really dont want to have to pull the ground off my battery and lose all my settings. Thanks!

there is no ground for the airbag system. you dont need to disconnect the battery either. just replace the wheel. after you are doe you will most likely get the airbag light but you can search on here how to reset it.

good luck

soarer wheel or soarer wheel with soarer center cover. some soarer centers never came with airbags.

Its a full wheel with the cover. I need to remove the entire wheel including the airbag to replace it. The wheels looks the same except for the cover, I was assuming I could use the airbag I have now in the soarer wheel. From what I read however you are supposed to disconnect the battery or the air bag could deploy while i'm messing with it. Can someone confirm? Thanks

dude your not going to set off the air bag. seriously stop being a p*ssy. its not a big deal. either just do it with the battery terminal removed or with it on. i have changed bags on plenty of cars before using both ways and nothing has ever happened. i have personally pulled the wheel off of my sc about 5 or 6 times changing between stock wheels and different aftermarket ones. it doesnt do anything.

sorry about the p*ssy comment im kinda drunk. but seriously you will be fine.
