whats up guys ... new to the community but not to stangs... have a question for you guys maybe you guys can hopefully help. I was in a little bit more than a fender bender which deployed the air bags i only had liability and the guy who hit me didnt have any at all so i am kida left in limbo with getting my car fixed ... i have seen a few mustang with re-movable steering wheels that dont have air bags , so my question is do you have to have them or can you some how dissable the system to get rid of the fault light ? would that matter any when you take your car in for emmission testing? the no light can be on rule? im in illinois by the way... thanks guys any help is appreciated

Sure he will. Take the gauge cluster out, remove all the trim screws holding the gauge faces and take the bulb out.

That was all you had to say? So maybe I'm wrong but you offer that and nothing else to help the poster? For just accumulating post counts, you deserve it more than I do

I don't know about that one. I would call whoever does the testing and ask them before any inspection. I wouldn't think it would matter though, as long as the emission systems operate functionally. Is the CEL on too? That sucks about your Stang....sorry to hear it.

some states are different

Texas for example is more concerned with safety than emissions so the state inspectors check to make sure all the dash lights come on and go off and everything functions properly

here in Nevada you can roll around on bald tires, no brakes pads with all the airbags deployed and as long as your car can pass emissions you're golden
