HOW DO YOU DISABLE THE PILLAR AIRBAG? I finially got my Nos kit with the switch that goes on the pillar pod...and i got everything else hooked up already and its about to drive me crazy! ?... And i kinda dont want a airbag going off in my face..

 

There is no air bag in the pillar.

 

Yeah theres sidecurtin airbags on car......

 

But the airbag is not in the pillar itself, you dont have anything to worry about, just take the pillar off.

 

Thanks! Cuz i didnt want to pop that cap off and have a damn airbag go off in my face

 

watch my luck...ima install the triple pillar pod and them BAM im on the floor for a few hours and i wake up next to a yaris and im missing my kidney

 

yes the airbag IS in the pillar, pull the SIR fuse and disconnect ur bat.

 

HAHA thats why i asked....

 

I am looking at the manuals and you sir are wrong. End of story.

 

well wait. the 05 may be different for the 06 and that may be VERY much diff from the 07. victory red your ridin an 05 bro. i think im have to risk my kidneys for this one :X

 

Then use simple logic.
Did GM decide to create a missle at face level that is going to fly into your head when the airbags deploy, especially with a gauge on the SC models?
GM didn't change the airbag systems. They are the same.

 

I've had my side curtain come down already, they are not in the pillar.

Besides, don't you think we would know by now. I mean how many people have used pillar gauge pods by now.

 

theres is one in you A pillar and C pillar

 

I know first hand that the airbag is not in the piller. I saw a crash right in front of me where a cobalt got hit on the side and the air-bag came from side. NOT the piller.

 

exactly where on the side and is it on all cobalt ss/sc models?

 

Directly above your ears on the roof where the window and the slot the window meets the top of the door.

 

now when that airbag comes out, does it go straight downward or what...i never knew anything about an airbag there =X

 

straight down.

 

Yes. As stated above, they are NOT in the pillars; the caps are for show. They come out of the headliners. End of story.

 

wow why are people arguing about this.. its a side curtin.. not a cruise missle to your face curtin.. its not in the apiller... gm may have some weird setup on something but deff not that... when u take the pillar off youll see a green tube... thats the tube that goes to the air bag... just dont **** with that an ull be fine (you can touch it just dont pull it lol).. the SIDE curtin is on the SIDE of your head above your door... end of argument...

 

And even if you would engage it, it doesn't use powder like the front airbags. It just fills with air.
