disconnect battery when changing seats??
« on: 06 August 2009, 21:49:37 »
hiya.
 i`ll be upgrading to leather seats soon, i know about disconnecting the battery to remove the drivers airbag but seeing as the front seats have side airbags would i need to disconnect the battery when swapping seats over?
 my car is a 02 and will be putting in 02 leather so everything should be the same.
 many thanks.

Much much safer to disconnect your battery when swapping seats over. At the very least don't turn your ignition on with a seat removed .... you'd need your air-bag light restting if you did.  ;)

I think that just applies to the older type. Mr Haynes describes though.  ;)

Agreed, in theory you can just unplug it under the seat. I personally would disconnect, good excuse to whip out the battery & clean under it.
