I was a manufacturing Quality Engineer, predictive and field reliability was part of the job. Blanket statement, take it for what it is worth in your opinion... with the best of circumstances accurate field data is a lofty expectation. Within our company we targeted top 50 customers and flagged failures for failure analysis... from that we were able to verify failures and work to root cause. Lby m2 - Main Forum
I appreciate the video... everything went fine. Unfortunately the airbag disconnected as I reached under to install the underside o-rings. Clipped it back in place. Horn now works when it should :^) Now who's replaced the rear trunk release cable?...by m2 - Main Forum

Great video... and timely. 2000 Boxster... same failure. I choose to disconnect the battery until I understood how to work safely with the air bag. After disconnecting the battery and waiting 2 hours (?)... is it safe to work around the air bag or is there any chance of activation? thanks. I'd rather work under my car than around an air bag and don't know if this a legitimate concern (nerby m2 - Main Forum

And, what are the statistics related to the success of the IMS Guardian in detecting a potential failure and the owner shutting down prior to significant damage?by m2 - Main Forum
Yesterday while road biking with my daughter a motorcycle passed close to me and gave the loud pipe open throttle rev. I immediately thought of this thread... and small dick, loud pipe mentality. Funny... as there is a guy who drives a big piped Viper that does the same thing whenever he gets a chance.

Good information... thank you! So disconnect battery... wait 1 minute or more... simply unscrew the torque screws... disconnect and remove the air bag... apply liquid rubber and let dry... then replace the air bag and good to go?

I remember the intermittent horn problem being discussed years ago on PPBB… I have a 2000 Boxster and am now experiencing the problem. My understanding is the Airbag needs to be removed and the horn grommets replaced. DIY instructions indicate you should disconnect the battery then wait 15 minutes before removing the airbag, by accessing 2 torque screws on the back side of the steering wheel.by m2 - Main Forum
