99 nardi wheel air bag problem
So I installed a 99 nardi rx7 wheel but the airbag light doesnt go out. Tried swaping wires but no change. I reconnected the old bag and the light goes out. Anyone have any suggestions???

Yes, I did get it from you (it looks brand new btw) and it came in the mail yesterday and tried to connect it but the light doesnt go out. As I said the old one when reconnected worked. Thought someone might have run into this problem before. My next step (I guess) is to go to Radio Shack and get a resistor....unless there is a better solution??

Umm...this may sound like a dumb question.
But for those of you attempting to retrofit the 99spec steering wheel (w/ air bag)...are you sure the air bag will go off IF you need it to? I know the Lexus guys (specifically the SC guys) retrofit different model steering wheels on their cars (such as an RX330 steering wheel onto a 1993 SC300). In order for the airbag to go off, they need to ensure the airbag is of the same type. IE: single stage airbag to replace their own. http://www.clublexus.com/forums/show...2&postcount=10 Excellent explanation here: http://www.clublexus.com/forums/show...0&postcount=13 Just thought I would post this up, to ensure you guys are safe. I don't know the details regarding the swap, as I haven't seen it posted too often, but would rather the swap be done the right way, instead of a mickey mouse method/band-aid fix. |
just take the lightout of the instrument cluster?
|
the 99 bag is single stage and has two wires like the original. I could take out the bulb but I would rather have it work properly unless there is no other option. Since I'm the only driver I would only be killing myself anyway.

Good to know it is single stage. Thanks for the info.

I guess the question is: Has anyone had a '99 Nardi airbag actually deploy in an FD?

Oh and I'm glad you're happy w/ the condition of the wheel. My apologies for the delay.

Thanks, ~Ramy FDNewbie Imports |
Ramy,
It's all good, the wheel is awsome. Well I found out the problem - the stupid clockspring was damaged (by me when I took off the old wheel) and will have to be replaced. |
So no one knows for sure if one of these will actually work in an accident (i.e. through trial and error ;))? It'd be nice to know for when I get mine.
