Bare with me guys...
Can our airbags deploy even if the entire steering/airbag is disconnected and out of your car? I mean can an impact to the uninstalled steering wheel set off the airbag? Or even better a change in pressurization? Static Electricity? --------------------  |

QUOTE(hurley97 @ Jan 23, 2007 - 10:52 PM) [snapback]520648[/snapback] the signal from the sensors releases potassium nitrate (don't quote me on that) into some form of sodium thats surrounding it. so if the airbag is in a situation where whatever seal is holding the potassium nitrate is broken the airbag could go off, so probably something like excessive heat or (like Batman said) throwing it against a wall a few times might [might] do it. in other words, I don't really think you need to worry about it those chemical are part of the airbag internal assambly, the electricity is used to start the reaction this chemical reaction produces Nitrogene at an speed of 200 KPH or MPH ( don't remember clearly ) --------------------  |
