Thanks guys, sorry about that. Just I have never had a modern vehicle for off roading with Airbags, hence the question. I am used to my 23 year old tank of a Safari and Toyota with such stuff. It was just a question to satisfy myself and put my mind at ease . I have nudged a bank or two while in a 4...

Airbag - Remove Fuse for Off Road ?
Hi all
What fuse do I pull to disable airbags while off road ? Is it the Big Yellow one RH side fuse panel ?
Will I set them off by removing and putting back with ignition off ?
Hope someone knows the answer to this one.

I traded it 2 months ago on a Nissan, thought it was what I wanted, but we are not doing much in the club so hence a change in direction. Maybe later I will get a tough truck again. I really like the Nissan , just Love Jeeps more haha

Mine just started to do this , It was the injectors. Had new injector tips fitted and all is well. Apparently mine failed due to clogged fuel filter caused by the Bio Diesel , or so my mechanic says.
