I got a 2016 lqncer gts, i would like to remove my bumpers to do rust repair before it eats the metal.
I am wondering if im at risk of setting off the air bags if i remove my bumpers?

can't you just disconnect the battery
i can but i wasnt sure if theres another thing that had to be done to do so.
solemn sleet
well I guess u could also just take the airbag out
easy for me to say after looking at a scion frs
cerulean geyser
be a pain lol i want to just do minimal work. i dont want to accidentaly set all my bags off and have to replace em
sounds stupid but its my first car with air bags lol
solemn sleet
oh wow
yeah I think you'll be fine just disconnecting the battery but if that's not enough ig u can do some more research
cerulean geyser
yeah i did some but i got some areas saying yes and others no thats why im a little confused
solemn sleet
ah, for your exact car?
solemn sleet
ohh

solemn sleet

its under the bumper i dont care how half assed it looks
solemn sleet

and try to remember exactly how they did it

why not hit up a professional then
cerulean geyser
got no money for that and im more than capable of doing the work myself. i just dont know shit about all the tech in the cars these days
cerulean geyser
ive always had older cars in the past
my 04 ranger is the newest car i owned before the ranger and it had crank windows and a manual transmission. only tech in it was the radio lol
