Question about stock steering wheel
I've had my FD for five years now and I've decided to remove the Momo one that is falling apart. I purchased a used one a few weeks ago and I'm trying to figure out how i hook up the electrical connections to the horn and airbag. My biggest concern is that the only connection i see coming out of the steering wheel i purchased is for the cruise control which i don't have(R1). Also... i think the car might have been wrecked. Is there a possibility the airbag could blow when i reconnect the battery??? If so i can leave it disconnected but my biggest concern is connecting the horn so i can pass state inspection.
Thanks
Thanks

unless someone has tampered with the wiring for the airbag, it cannot blow just by connecting the battery. If that were the case it would have already blown, because of the back-up batter that the SRS system uses.
On the same note, I do not recommend tampering with the airbag unit or related wiring without studying the shop manual and the service highlights manual
***DO NOT PROBE THE AIRBAG UNIT WITH A MULTI-METER!!***
This could cause the unit to explode ( and leave you with a mangled face)
