Team3: Steering Wheel Change
I am getting a good deal on a Momo steering
wheel. I will be swapping
mine out next week. I have a couple of
question on the SRS light.
1: The new steering wheel does not have an
airbag. Does the SRS light
stay on because it thinks there is a
proble?
2: How do I deactivate the airbag so it does not go off when I am
taking
it out?
3: How hard is it to take the old steering wheel
off?
Thanks

Where did you get the steering wheel adapter??? Let
me know because ive been
searching all over the place!
On the steering
wheel disconnect the battery overnight just to be safe. Then
there are 4 10mm
nuts on the backside of the wheel (very easy to get too)
removing these will
remove the air bag section and just unplug the
electrical connections to
it(like the radio controls and horn and airbag).
Then remove the cruise
control selector. Then you will have to remove the
17mm nut on the center
shaft and before you do this make certain the wheels
are alighned straight!!!
And with a firm grip and use leverage grab the
wheel and just start pulling
and it will pop off hard (my ass is bruised
from it
:(
Then wala wheel
gone.
On the SRS system you have the choice of removing the center
console(between
the front seats where you can put your pop cans or misc.
stuff) and the SRS
computer is there or you can just unplug the light from
the display.

Re: Team3S: Team3: Steering Wheel Change
Hi Moe,
I removed my
airbag a couple monthes ago to replace a horn button..
according to
the manual, you only need to have the power off for 30
seconds in order to
discharge the system.. I left mine off for about
10 minutes just to be
sure.. no problems.. I have a bunch of pictures
of the
job.. I'll try to post them on my site for you to look at..
although
they're for a 2nd gen wheel, I don't think there's any
significant
difference in the removal/installation.. since I didn't
have my
steering wheel off, I don't know if it's common for them to
be easily pulled
off, but keep in mind you might need a puller to do
the
job..

Re: Team3S: Team3: Steering Wheel Change
If anyone cares, I just posted
the pics.. it dawned on me that the
horn buttons are integrated into
the airbag on 1st gens, but I would
imagine the connections are basically
the same.. if nothing else,
at least you can see what's behind the
airbag..

Team3S: Opening up Headlights
Question:
Has anyone on this list
ever opened up
their headlight housing on a second-gen
3000GT or
Stealth? It would be nice to
clean up the glass and mess around
with
other stuff.
I'm wondering if it's possible and how
long it
takes.
The headlights section doesn't seem to
be in the general
service manual, so I'm
guessing that it's in the electrical service
manual
(which I don't have).

Re: Team3S: Opening up Headlights
Hey Errin,
I took one of my
headlights (94+) out last fall and took the little metal
clips off. It
looks like they are sealed together with glue or sealant. I
wasn't
brave enough to go any farther. I also couldn't find anything in the
manuals about taking them apart. It wasn't in the mechanical or
electrical
manuals. If you get brave enough to open them, let me know.
;) I know the
dealer only sells the whole
assembly.
later,
Curt

Intermittent starting problem
Hey guys,
When I turn the key to
start the car, sometimes it will not start. There is
still power
because the electronics still have plenty of juice, and there is
a new
battery anyways. There is also no clicking sounds from the
starter,
I've had that problem before. The problem is almost like when
you turn the
key without pushing the clutch in, except that I have the clutch
to the
floor. The clutch was also just replaced a couple weeks ago, but
the
problem started almost a year ago and seems to have gotten much
worse
lately.
I've noticed that the problem gets worse when it rains,
and it rained a lot
last week and the problem got really bad a few days
ago. So I'm guessing
some kind of electrical problem? It also
seems like other people have a
harder time starting it than I do. My
friend told me it is easier to start
when you push the key in hard while
turning it. I don't know what I do
differently than the other people
that have tried to start it (mechanics,
parking attendants).
So what
do you guys think? I'd rather not have to go to the dealer to get
the
electrics diagnosed. Also, how hard would it be to have a push
button
starter implemented into the car that perhaps bypassed the
"key" part of the
ignition?
Thanks,
Chris Maxwell
