it sounds like your Power Steering fluid is low,,,,, or your power steering pump is leaking (which means it needs to be replaced)... I hope it turns out to be low steering fluid. If the power steering fluid is low, you can have someone add fluid, but keep and eye on whether or not that fluid level is dropping or leaking. Good luck to you.
Typically, replacing any factory steering wheel that has the airbag incorporated into it, with any type or brand of aftermarket steering wheel, the airbag diagnostic module will "see" that there is an airbag missing, and it will request an illumination of the airbag/srs warning lite...
You'll have to take it in so they can reset the memory code.
You can reset your Chevrolet 2500 pickup truck airbag warning light by removing the airbag warning light fuse. Keep the fuse out for 10 seconds and replace it to its original slot.
you have to take the airbag out first.
no it does not have a steering wheel
You don't have an airbag
The driver airbag is always located inside the steering wheel.Look at the steering wheel cover for the letters SRS or the word "AirBag".If the airbag does exist,you will see that written.
simply pull tha airbag fuse. remove the 4 torx head scres behind the airbag and remove airbag. unplug theelectrical connector. remove the big nut holding the steering whell. use a puller to remove the steering wheel.
It doesn't. Your face will be less damaged hitting the airbag than if it hits the steering wheel.
The symptoms that you are describing lead me to believe that you have a failed "clockspring". The clockspring is a mechanism that is attached behind the steering wheel. Its purpose is to provide electrical connection to the driver's airbag. Being that the steering wheel is a rotating object which houses the airbag, the clockspring is a sophisticated mechanism that maintains electrical connection regardless of the steering wheel's angle. If the clockspring were to break, it could cause the popping noise that you heard. Depending on the breakage that occurred, it could obstruct the turning of the steering wheel. Additionally, since the electrical contact to the airbag is now lost, the airbag warning light flashes to alert you to the malfunction.
If you mean that you have a warning light on, then once the problem that is causing the airbag warning light to come on is diagnosed and fixed, the light will reset itself.
AIRBAG WARNING: Before you remove any steering wheel parts on an airbag equipped car it is important that you disconnect the negative battery cable to disable the airbag system. A loose airbag deploying directly in your face can cause serious injury, and could possibly kill you DEAD.Having said that, I'm not sure exactly the procedure on a Seville, but I'll give you a basic run down of how to take off most steering wheels.1)Disconnect negative battery cable2)Determine how airbag module is attached to steering wheel. The airbag module is in the front center of the steering wheel and is the part of the steering wheel you see. It likely has a vehicle emblem right on it. There may be plastic covers on the side or back of steering wheel that hide airbag retainer nuts. Some airbag modules are simply held in by clips and can be pulled out. Once you determine how the airbag is fastened remove it from the steering wheel. There will be an electrical connector to the airbag (usually yellow). Carefully disconnect electrical connector and set airbag aside.2)Disconnect horn wire, and any other electrical wires used inside the steering wheel. There should be connectors for all wires.3)NOTE:ENSURE STEERING WHEEL IS POINTED STRAIGHT AHEAD PRIOR TO REMOVAL. At this stage you should have access to the steering wheel nut. Remove the steering wheel nut.Some steering wheels will simply come off at this stage. However most wheels must be pressed off. Use a steering wheel puller to pull wheel. A puller set can be rented at most auto parts stores if you don't have one.4)CLOCKSPRING WARNING:Behind the steering wheel there is a component known as a clockspring. It houses the wires for the airbag and other steering wheel electronics. It allows the steering wheel to spin and maintain electrical connections. It is important that the clockspring or wheels are not turned while the steering wheel is out. If the clockspring is turned too many times over it will break causing steering wheel electronics not to work(and an expensive repair). It must remain centered at all times.
