My side air bags went off

[Kyle]

Side airbags are optional on SA models. Come only on Lux models

06h3 has the lux package and doesnt have side airbags.

Who gives a **** if they will take fault or not...lol

They are fixing thousands of dollars worth of work for free on a vehicle that is 7 years old and way out of warranty. They could say whatever they want and even talk smack...I wouldn't care seeing you got taken care.

I'm glad they did it but shocked they did. I thought for sure they would say the vehicle is too old. You lucked out man!

Reminds me of these that we installed on some vettes

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001RK54EY

Same concept as those, all it did would bypass the fuse that controlled the butterfly valve for the performance exhaust. They loved them as they could remotely turn their exhaust down from a distance

Yea i actually was told not to install it on my 3 so i ended up installing it on my dads vette to control the valves too! Hahaha!

So you coming out to Pismo then?

 

[Bigunit]

So, there seems to be some confusion (especially on the trail & at the last minute) about the correct air bag fuse that some have removed before hitting a trail to disable the air bags on the H3 - what is the correct fuse number on the H3 that can be removed to disable the air bag? I just want to make sure that we provide accurate info. on the forum and avoid people from pulling the wrong fuse. I have never pulled the air bag fuse before hitting a trail but for those that are considering this, what is the proper fuse #? Let's get this right for everyone's benefit. I was on a trail ride where the owner of the H3 pulled the wrong fuse and completely disabled his vehicle from starting. I want to avoid this from happening again and want to be sure others, as well as I, who might decide to pull the air bag fuse, pull the right fuse if there is ever the need or desire to do so.

 

[Zach]

Hmmmmm, I might have been on the same trail as you.

 

[06 H3]

On an 06 it's 27...not sure if there are variations with different years

 

[4speedfunk]

There is a fuse "map" on the inside of the fuse box lid. Just flip it over and locate the correct fuse for your particular year.
