W209 AIRBAG CONNECTION

`







Since the power will be disconnected

I would like to ask - does anyone know

which connection is for the airbag

Is it the green or the yellow


Thank-You

Both. That whole silver thing is the airbag.

I was told that one connection is for

the airbag and one is for the steering

wheel buttons

Are you saying that both the yellow and

the green have to connected for the

airbag to work

What I want to know is which one has to

be connected for just the steering wheel

buttons to work - yellow or green

Right now I do not want the airbag connected


Thank-You
D.B.

I have not taken my steering wheel off in a while, and don't remember exactly how the buttons make contact, but that round metal thing is the explosive cannister for the airbag. Look at all the labels on it. It has those special connectors and what I think are gold plated contacts. It does not make sense that the wires for the steering wheel buttons would pass through the airbag, especially since the airbag is not even made by Mercedes, or that the buttons would use that same type of special connector.

As far as I remember the button connectors are a separate connection that attaches directly to the clockspring. Both those connectors are airbag connectors. I think one is a backup.
