Greetings, I just acquired a 1990 manual 240 with the SRS light illuminated & no horn. I was able to reset the light, & the horns are loud & clear when jumped, but MIA inside. Dismantling an airbag steering wheel would be a completely new adventure that I would be happy to avoid. Is there an alternative? And if not, advice? Cheers, & thanks in advance.

 

You may not have to take out the bag to do the horn buttons if that's what's missing. Better post a picture to see what's going on.

 

Thanks lev, I haven't even touched the wheel, all I know about airbags is they can hurt you if you don't know what you're doing...

 

Disconnect the battery, wait a couple of minutes then remove the airbag. I've removed and installed at least a hundred. But I've always felt queasy with my arms wrapped around the steering wheel undoing the bolts or the release catches! And have removed many with the battery connected -

 

I don't know about the 240 but on the 7/9 series better lock the clock spring in place or it's gonna unwind and then it will need to be recentered. There is a screw under the bag that needs to be installed to lock the clock spring in place, but this only applies to the steering wheel removal if needed.

 

Thanks guys, I'll go really slow & carefully..
