'95 Cutlass Supreme Turn Signal Switch

[Goose10202]

Okay, I've read many posts on here about how the turn signal switch will cause problems with the left turn signal and no brake lights to light up. Some have talked about making the repairs but I have just one curiousity. I am eager to make the repair myself but the issue of dealing with the airbag poses questions. Is this something that I should give worry to in disconnecting. I have the service manual with all the how to's but the fact that this is a sensitive device makes me apprehensive about the job. Am I over reacting or is the whole idea of handling the airbag and unhooking it and all really as dangerous as I think? I guess in short, should I have a dealer do the job? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

If you disconnect the battery for 10 minutes the SIRS is powered down, but there is always a risk with these systems.
