Need Reply ASAP

Ok, I need an answer asap!

I have just changed my door speakers, and need to change the dash tweeters next.

I know I have to remove the top dash, but I want to know if I have to disconnect the battery first?

It didnt say anything in the manual

Thankyou

you dont need to but it is recommended.

what do most people do?

The only reason u disconnect the battery is so that the airbags won't deploy.

I would suggest to disconnect it.

Saves a lot of hassle if the airbag does go off... simple and easy enough to unplug the negative on the battery!

i take the dash off with the battery connected but it's best to disconnect it due to the airbag

There was a thread the other day. For the sake of 10 seconds disconnecting it is it really worth taking the risk? If you are working near anything in close proximity to airbags I would ALWAYS disconnect the battery. Also wait about 20mins for any residual charge to dissopate.

Dont forget to disconnect the Negative first.

Ok, as my dad is asleep.. can someone tell me how to reconnect the battery? haha

 

[theduck]

the reverse of disconnecting

 

[jessica_laurie]

I wasnt there to see him disconnect it though :S

 

[theduck]

connect positive then connect negative

I never disconnected it i just switched the airbag system off.

Just put the negative clamp over the terminal and tighten it. Dont wear a long chain or anything that will touch both the terminals at the same time!
