my simple fix for srs Posted by vtsnaab [Email] (#26) [Profile/Gallery] (more from vtsnaab) on Mon, 22 Mar 2010 20:51:08 In Reply to: Funny, Mike Johnson, Mon, 22 Mar 2010 06:45:19 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
This has gotten me some rather irate responses in the past but to sum up:
No way am I driving a car with 10+ y/o unexploded things aimed at people's faces.
I lobotomize the things. Carefully.
My solution is very simple, but it takes some work and caution to do:
1 - remove the srs ecu
2 - remove the warning light bulb
3 - remove (carefully) the ugly stickers announcing that srs even exists.
4 - remove the incendiary devices from steering wheel and dash
5 - optional - get and install a GLOVE BOX !!! (not optional for me.)
If the system is NOT there it cannot make trouble either by announcing it's malfs or by having a malf that could possibly kill someone.
Just my opinion, of course - to be taken as any unimportant grain of sand if desired...
I close with this thought:
After a 2 moose encounter which cartwheeled my beautiful, previous '94 Aero, and in which I wore no seatbelt and there were no 'airbags' - it was interesting to note that my most serious injury (besides scrapes) was to my ribs from a side impact - where neither of those could or would have prevented it anyhow.
Best Wishes,
mark
