Can a vehicle's airbag deploy after the battery has been removed?
I need to replace a 'multi-function switch' (turn signal level) that is attacked to the core of my steering column on my 1998 Chrysler Concorde.
To get to it, I need to take the steering wheel off.
I've been told that it can be a pretty difficult task, and I have limited-to-no experience on car work. (Anyone giving the stupid usual "You could, but just be smart and take it to a dealer - it's not worth it to risk it yourself" answer will be voted thumbs down multiple times--I'm doing this myself, and that's that).
I am wondering if my vehicle's airbags may accidentally deploy, even after I've disconnected my vehicle's car battery. Like I said, I need to take the steering wheel off, so it could be a tricky situation. But I've been told by one mechanic that there's virtually no way airbags can deploy without the vehicle's battery being attached.
Is this true?
No, there's no danger of your airbag deploying when there is no power to the system. It is in fact a required manufactured safety feature of the system - so that airbags are not deployed when the ignition is switched off (there is no power to the system) - for airbag removal purposes. I'd agree with your mechanic friend who has given good advice. You're taking the correct steps by completely disconnecting the battery - to avoid any risk whatsoever. (e.g. accidentally switchining on ignition switch by accident)
