hi
how do i change an sti7 steering wheel for an sti8 steering wheel as the plug on the back of the airbag unit is different

please help as i have neither wheel now on and dont really want to put the sti7 one back on

thanks

 

if you received the wire from the airbag module on the 8 wheel, then use that and splice the wires into the wire from the loom.

If you didn't receive that lead (as I didn't) then you'll have to use it without wiring it up (as I have done) - which helps when you have a crash as the airbag doesn't go off and you can use the steering wheel on your next car (as I have done )

 

Dont do it whilst driving the car .....

 

does it matter which way round the wires go when connecting into the airbag

dont like the idea of not having it connected, also dont i have to fool the car in some way so as to get rid of the airbag light
