  • Hello,

    In my CARAVELLE t4 from. 2001 I need to temp disable all airbags, in the fuse schematics I can’t find any fuse description to deactivate/pull the system… How to do this without removing all components from the dash and steering wheel? (Including deactivation of of the warning lights..)

    Thx, ernst
