Car Forum / Mazda / Mazda Miata / April 2005Airbag light cancelation?
Is there a way to cancel out the airbag light? I have a 1991 miata the car was previously in a frontend colision prior to my ownership. I am looking to restore the car to its glory. However the airbag light stays on due to an aftermarket momo steering wheel that was installed "junk". If anyone knows of any tricks or shorting out ways to make this light stay off please say.

Did you pull the fuse? I hate to admitt it but untill I rectify the situation (flashing 10 times) I've covered the darn thing with a pc of black electrical tape. Not proud of it, just being honest, couldn't stand the flashing any more. Chris 92 BB&T > Myrone Bagalay wrote in: > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Did you pull the fuse?

Now see if pulling the fuse will get rid of the light. >Is there a way to cancel out the airbag light? I have a 1991 miata the car >was previously in a frontend colision prior to my ownership.

One page you might look at is http://www.miata.net/garage/pass_airbag_rem.html If you decide to take off the instrument cluster, I recommend dropping the steering wheel a bit. (There are two big bolts hidden behind the panel and wires below the steering wheel column.) For the rest, I believe the procedure is somewhere in the garage section on miata.net. Be careful with the printed circuit board behind the instrument cluster.

Why don't you save them, and give them to the hapless victim that buys your car used?

A hapless victim unable to see that there is no airbag in the steering wheel? While it would be great for safety, is anyone really going to put a new airbag and steering wheel on a 15 year old Miata?

Yes. > While it would be great for safety, is anyone really going to put > a new airbag and steering wheel on a 15 year old Miata? Probably not, but a person buying a car ought to *know* if the airbag and airbag problem have been intentionally disabled.

Don't agree. Someone 1) unable to see at a glance that a Momo steering wheel has no airbag, or 2) unable to figure out that an airbag not in a car does not offer protection should not buy a car at all. Or if they do, experience the full impact of Darwinian selection for the increased safety of the rest of us.
