    The best way to avoid the airbag going off is disconnect black battery terminal and take out airbag fuse and discharge the car . hope it doesnt go off when you install it again

    Thanks to you, I was able to remove and replace the leather-wrapped he'll on my 140 with a nicer one. All together- now the horn blows uncontrollably. I suppose the air bag needs to come out. Where is the adjustment? for the horn sensitivity? - Thanks

  • @nordemoniac
    @nordemoniac 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    AFAIK, there isn't any risk of the airbag blowing up. On any W202 model up to 30.06.93 you need to disconnect the battery so you don't get a SRS error light. After 01.07.93 you only have to remove the key.
    The last time I removed the airbag on my 98 (smart key facelift), I was terrified of the airbag, but I'm not sure if there is something to be afraid of really...

    So now that I have the steering wheel off of my 2000 SL500 how can I fix my high beams which don’t work in the “on” position. They work in the flash to pass mode but not in the “on” position. Do I simply replace the entire stalk component?

    • @fupabox
      @fupabox  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      did you unplug the neg battery cable when you removed the wheel , are you sure the connector is plugged in properly ? if not unhook the neg battery cable... negative only.. and leave it unhooked for a few minutes... hopefully it will reset the srs light...

    Will this remedy a steering wheel that is out of alignment? Also I am working on a w208.... I went into a curb on an ice filled street and now I am at about 10:30 instead of 12 when driving straight?
    Your vids are seriously the best btw.

    • @fupabox
      @fupabox  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      no,,unfortunately if you hit a curb the center steering link or a tie rod on that side is bent or was forced out of alignment.. The only remedy is to check for bent arms in the steering linkage and replace them, then the car will need an alignment done. if there are no bent steering arms then you will just need the alignment done

    • @fd3able

    Hi Fupabox, I have a mercedes c-class 205 model. I need to remove the airbag compartment of my wheel to access the paddle shifter buttons. However on my wheel there are no visible screws behind the airbag. There are two recesses or divots in the material behind the airbag, do you know if the screws are in behind these recesses. I do not want to puncture the surface without knowing that they are there.

  • @vaz686

    • @fupabox
      @fupabox  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Alan Janelt you can.. but you will have to reset the airbag/srs light once everything is back together...it may reset itself once it is all hooked up properly again..if not a dealer star scanner may be needed to reset it

  • @WillieJu
    @WillieJu 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Fupabox. Your vids are really assisting a lot. I asked a while back on one of your other vids on the cluster removal, which I couldnt do without removing the steering wheel. So I watched this vid and it helped a lot, and I could get the cluster out to replace some dead bulbs. Just another issue - after I carefully put the airbag back and refitted the steering wheel, the SRS light in the cluster doesnt want to go off - it keeps on. So I have to get the computer reset or error cleared?
    Thanks again - from Sunny South Africa.

    • @fupabox
      @fupabox  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      sounds like one of the wires to the airbag didn't make proper contact,and when you plugged the battery back in and turned the car on,it triggered the fault...the only way to rest is at a dealership with the factory computer..an OBD2 will not work

  • @kedocom
    @kedocom 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey fupabox .... this video sure came in handy as I just replaced a combination switch/stalk .... but now I have a slight scraping sound in the column/shroud ... like plastic on plastic when I turn the wheel ..... any ideas?

    • @fupabox
      @fupabox  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      it's exactly what it sounds like... the shroud around the column is sometimes tough to get re aligned properly...try slightly loosening the screws holding it together, as too tight can distort it

    • @kedocom
      @kedocom 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** thank-you for the reply C .... do you recall where the screws for the shroud are located? Are they under the steering wheel as I do not recall having moved it .....

    • @kedocom
      @kedocom 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @fupabox
      @fupabox  10 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @DMsPockets

    Hi, ive managed to nearly remove my steering wheel but the center bolt is really not wanting to come out. Even used an impact gun! Any ideas?

    • @fupabox
      @fupabox  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      DMsPockets an impact will have a hard time sine the wheel moves back and forth, a long cheater bar with firm pressure works the best..with someone to hold the wheel so it doesn't rest on the steering lock pin.. it's threadlocked on, so sometimes a bit of a pain

    Why did you pull the wheel off? Mine squeaks whenever I turn it now that the weather is colder but I don't know how deep into the wheel/column I'd have to go to try to lube it. Do you have any advice for this?

    • @fupabox
      @fupabox  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      I pulled the wheel to replace the stock wheel with one from a c280 sports model..the squeek is most likely the outer plastic steering column cover rubbing on the back of the wheel...some dry graphite lubricating powder between the 2 would prob. stop the squeek

    • @TFCxSwagx7
      @TFCxSwagx7 11 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** Oh okay, that's cool actually I might do some hunting around the local junkyards. But yeah the airbags have been deployed on this car twice and it seemed like everything wasn't quite fitting right on the wheel when I replaced it. The graphite powder is a good idea, I'll try that first. Thanks a bunch, your videos have been very helpful.

    @andresrios7882 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey man, it's been years, but I have 2 questions:
    What size is the spline in our W202's? Is it 21mm? Looking at hub boss kits to install an aftermarket steering wheel and came across one that says it fits Benz's with a 21mm spline size.
    Second question is: can an aftermarket hub be installed over the clock spring? Or will that need to be removed as well? Thanks in advance!

    • @fupabox
      @fupabox  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      you can't install over the clock spring ..the airbag can't be retained unless you get a wheel made specifically for MB models. If the airbag is not hooked up the seatbelt pretensioners won't work in an accident . You can splice a resister ( not sure the size ) into the wheel airbag wire to trick it into thinking the airbag is there . I have a w202 wheel in the garage .. I'll measure the hole tomrrow for you

      andi kola if it is a kompressor you can google "maf relocate Mercedes Kompressor " of again if it's a kompressor you can install the kompressor pulley kit. otherwise there are no real performance upgrades that will be of much notice,,the exhaust is already a large diameter and flows as well as any aftermarket, cold air is already in the optimum spot

      Your english is much better than my Malay. The airbag contact plate is grounding the horn inside the steering wheel . The only way to fix it is to remove the airbag and check the wires . You can safely remove it as long as you unhook the battery first . If you don't need the horn you can unplug the horn wires in front of the radiator

    If you really want to discharge a capacitor in a hurry you could always remove the negative terminal and turn the key and hold it for a moment. Same principal as removing the power cable for a PC and pushing the power button in for a moment. It closes the circuit and discharges most devices with power in an off / ACC state but no promises on that, it's a theory currently (pun).
    Might reset the console clock, not entirely sure about that one, so heads up. If it does reset the clock and you have a crappy 1 button mode like my 95 C280 : Pull and turn counterclockwise for hours, clockwise for minutes.
