But if it goes off while your under there, you WILL lose your hearing because it causes a negative pressure under there. Crazy stuff.

i always disable it too but i do it under the kick panels its real easy just wires on each side that click together

Hell it's bad enought having em go off in your face. When I was a driver back when Ford redesigned the Econoline vans with the 91 1/2 &92 model there was some defect in the column linkage for tilit steering. After a few months it would eventually start to shear the wiring harness for the SRS system then short to ground it, and el boomo. That was some scarey shit there. 3 times those mothers went off in 3 different vans and amazingly I never hit anything. Atleast they got on it really fast and pulled them back, somehow it didn't warrant a full on recall, not enough of em on the road yet or something like that.

the VERY EXACT same thing happend to me, (i think) its a rod that got pushed back and something with your lock cylinder, i had to take it to GM to fix it, they replaced my whole lock cylinder, and did away with VATS somehow. but its a dealer thing GL

That would scare the crap out of me, having the air bag go off out of nowhere.
