Features BentleyPublishers' BMW 5 Series 2004-2010 Repair Manual (E60, E61) - www.bentleypublishers.com/c/B510 How to remove and install the driver-side airbag on a BMW E60 - 5 Series
where is the contacts or "ribbon" for the horn? is it on the underside of the air bag or on the steering wheel? I need to remove my airbag to try and fix a stuck horn! had to remove the fuse!
1) which direction should the screwdriver be pushed down? up? left? right? 2) can you use a philips? 3) if very careful can one remove airbag without disconnecting battery. Assuming there is no intention to disconnect airbag wiring. I just want to level the steering wheel.
Even if this message is 3yo, I'll reply as it might be of help for some people. 1/ You have to use a thin flat head screwdriver. Insert it in the hole with the head at a 90 degres angles with the wheel plan (if you don't to that, the flat head can slide under the spring you have to push : it is a metal bar used as a spring). You have to push up until you can get the airbag out of its place (no click, no noise, no clue without pulling on the airbag). 2/ Highly probable you fail with a Philips head screw. 3/ I would not recommend that, as you will have to use some force to unmount the wheel, and might at some point hit the connector by mistake.
