Side impact airbags

[vlad335 10+ year member]

Hello,

Ok Heres my story. I recently had 2 amps, HU, and speakers installed here locally and I am pissed. I specifically told the guy a couple times to give me extra wire ( RCA's, Pwr. Grd, Rem) in case I would upgrade the amps in the future. the amps are underneath each front seat and the wires are run in channels under the seats.

I went to put in a new more powerful amp and guess what? He didn't give me even a 1/2" of slack on any wire! this was probally on purpose so I would have to go back to him but I am not. I used to install my own stuff in the early 90's but I recently have had more money than time.

Now my question... I have to redo some amp runs which mean the seats will have to come out. Since they have airbags, how do I deactivate them so they don't go off in my face? Simply disconnect the battery?

THanks

Umm, nothing goes off if you don't have power.

....disconnect your battery and your good. I have done that before in a newer Cadillac and nothing went off, removed the whole seat.
