Steering wheel airbag not connected

[Cliff]

Just in case people want to check, I did the cruise control on the car I just bought thanks to Conaero on this site but I when I removed the steering cowl what’s in picture 1 dropped down then when I removed the airbag I found it wasn’t connected and the wires had been cut off the slip ring. Would of only found out when my face hit the steering wheel in a accident. Found a second hard slip ring and fitted it in.

That should have thrown an airbag warning, unless the wires were connected somehow!

Or the airbag warning light is covered in mastik. Had that on a 5 series once. It’s 2 hours work to take the dash out and gum up the light. It’s 5 minutes to change the airbag. Fuckering muppets.

Pictures 1 was plugged in to the airbag socket that the slip ring would usually be plugged into, I’m guessing it an airbag simulator.

I just don't understand the mentality of someone who would do that. There truly are some deranged loons around.
