Hey thanks richtazz.I should have said something about that.As I have said,I'm not an auto machanic, but I have dabbled in electronics.After reading the warnings in the haynes manual and using logic,I wore a ground strap while handeling the airbag.I was working in a heated dry environment with cloth seats.Prime for static.I grounded to the house ground and not the car.
For those of you that don't know,a ground strap is a device used by electronics people to take that static snap out of your body.That annoying snap ranks into 1000s of volts, believe it or not,and can toast electronic components in your system .Not through your car obviously but when you handle the individual components.Or set off that air bag.Even if ya don't get hurt physically it will hurt your wallet.
