Have to remove the lower driver side air bag assembly to gain access to the clutch peddle switch but I am stumped as how to disconnect the electrical plug. I looks like it pulls away from the module assembly but it's stubborn. Can not see anything obvious. All help appreciated.

First disconnect the battery and leave the car to 'discharge' for 15 mins.

Just for anyone interested. To remove the airbag plug you do not lift up the yellow portion in the middle, that exposes the soldered connections inside, leave that alone. If you look very closely just passed were the yellow top turns over the plug there is a tag each side. Use a pair of small bent point nose pliers to squeeze these together, then ease the plug off the pyrotechnic part of the airbag.

Apologies for giving you "duff" info! I had assumed that the plug was the same as the steering wheel airbag which |I had previously removed and it did have the middle section that lifted up to release! Glad you got there in the end! |
