Replacement steering wheel airbag on Mini cars

Model: Mini Mini R55, R57, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Airbag

For safety reasons, start by lifting the hood and disconnecting the battery: I remind you to always unscrew the negative pole first, and only then the positive. In the lower part of the steering there is a hole, as you can see in the video. Insert a small flat screwdriver in this hole and push it all the way down: here you will find a small lever to push. When you do, you will see the steering wheel central airbag come out of its seat. Still with the small screwdriver, disconnect the connector and the other cable and your airbag will be completely free. Proceed backwards for assembly.

How to Install an Additional Horn on a Fiat Punto

It may happen that the original horn starts to produce a sound that is noticeably underwhelming; at this point, you can decide to install a pair of sounders connected in parallel with the original one to achieve a more assertive sound. The installation is very easy, but it is important to direct the sound output towards an air intake, so you need to shape a support bracket to fix it to the slam panel with a single bolt. Once secured, take the positive power from the fuse box using a 2.5 mm² cable, tapping into the purple wire directly under the relay while connecting the ground directly to the negative terminal of the battery.
