Fitting newer seats with airbags

[bigfresh]

hi, hope this has a simple answer. I'm looking at putting later model seats in to an older chev suburban. The later model has airbags in the seats where as the older doesn't. Do the airbaigs need to work when fitted in to the older vehicle or can they be disconected?

Hi

Sorry for teh delay, it is a simple answer - the airbags don't need to be connected, but as they are a pyrotechnic device and there is a slight chance that a disconnected bag could be triggered, the unit should be removed from the seat for safety.
