Default Airbag Removal

My car has an airbag steering wheel which is in really bad condition was wondering if it is just a matter of disconnecting it and fitting a non airbag one or is it more involved
Cheers
Jason

If there is no airbag connected, it'll throw up the airbag light. It can be sorted witha very cheap (less than a quid) electrical resistor. Have a search for more details.
But basically, the answer is yes.

Cheers would just taking the bulb out work or will it bring up a fault. I was concerned that their was more to it like the horn / airbag connections on the steering column

Taking the airbag bulb out will obviosuly stop it working, but its a bit of a bodge.
If you do the resistor method, at least any other airbags should work.
If you get the right wheel/boss combo, all indicators and horn should still work.

2.2 ohm resistors are 21p each in Maplins. Fitted one when I went from Paassenger Airbag to cubby
