I recently bought my car.. and the previous owner removed the Air bag steering wheel. Well this caused the Air bag light to start flashing... apparently this didn't bother him that much. But it did me.. so I removed the light bulb... now I have a beeping every time I start my car.. it's a series of three beeps that repeat about 6 or so times(never actually counted them). the beeps started after I removed the bulb... and I also notice that my high beam light(on the console) doesn't come on.. could be a bad bulb(haven't checked yet).



And for the Air bag... is there anything else that I can remove that is related to the Air bag??

Go to the front and remove the bumper. The sensors for the air bags are up front.

Great topic! I often wondered how I would handle the air bag situation when I replace the steering wheel. So removing the sensors will stop the flashing light and beeping in Bret's case?

there also is a brain box under the dash, this is where the beeping is coming from.

When I put in my momo I bought a small relay box that completes the circuit and keeps the light and beeps off.
