How to Remove the Airbag in a 93 300E

You can remove the airbags from your 1993 Mercedes 300E yourself and save time and money. Airbags are considered a vital safety feature, but some people remove them to prevent accidental deployment. Removing the airbags from your Mercedes is fairly easy, but you must be careful to avoid injury. Stay away from the front of the airbag as you remove it.

Instructions

1

Pop the hood and remove the battery cables from the battery. Use a socket wrench set to loosen the bolts on the cable clamps. Wait at least a half hour for the residual charge of the battery to drain out.

2

Check the owners manual for the location of the airbag fuses. Open the fuse panel cover on the dashboard near the steering column. Remove the fuse puller inside and use it to remove the airbag fuses.

3

Find two screws on the back of the steering column that hold the airbag in place. Remove the screws with a screwdriver, keeping your face and body away from airbag.

4

Slide the airbag very carefully from the center of the steering wheel and cut the wires using wire cutters. Set the airbag in a safe location.

5

Open the glove box and unhook the straps. Unscrew the glove box and remove it from the dashboard. Unbolt the airbag with the socket wrench and unhook the cable on the back of the airbag. Take the airbag out of the compartment, protecting your face and body.

6

Reinstall the glove box, put the screws back in place, and reattach the straps. Close the glove box door.

7

Reinstall the airbag fuses in the fuse panel and close the fuse panel cover. Connect the battery cables and tighten the retaining nuts.
