[V8] update on short.

Remove knee bolster/pad...lower column cover(which I believe hides  
the connector you want to look at)....2 torx screws that hold on  
airbag/horn pad thru 2 slots in rear of steering wheel/remove big nut/ 
pull wheel/loosen clamp and remove.  Airbag connector is orange, but  
might be covered in foam and is tucked off to right in upper or lower  
cover...Not sure if necessary, but I always remove the negative  
battery terminal first, as I'm like Ed, I look at that like it's 23yo  
dynamite found in a shed....Ha.  Lago had a melted connector(big  
yellow wire as I recall) and I got a new connector shell/terminal  
pins @ the dealer and was able to rebuild the connector(male/female  
ends were welded together)....The connector just pulls apart, but if  
you pry the purple shell apart/the wires all come free so verify  
position before doing that....(I learned the hard way).....I recall  
it cost about $40 in parts from the dealer(in 02), but I was glad I  
was able to fix the connector and at the time, I had this new to me,  
luxury high end expensive car.....Today, I'd either splice in a good  
used one if I had it, or just put in a bunch of nice crimp on  
individual connectors.....and of course, those headlights need to get  
relayed or it will happen again.....I didn't realize the dash got  
power thru that connector, so that's good to know......Tom
