I have a 2002 Lightning steering wheel with the cruise buttons but no airbag to go in my 2003 Lariat. The lightning airbag cover is different than the standard F150 but is the airbag itself? Anyone have the part number on the lightning airbag? anything else I should know about swapping it in place of the standard? Thanks in advance!

Airbag should be the same, but I wouldn't mess with it, unless you really know what you're doing, one wrong wire and BOOM

 

It plugs in. Not like splicing the wires together or something. If it is the same one then all that has to be done is removed the standard F150 cover, plug it in and mount it? I can do that

 

Sure, it should be plug and play, I'm just saying, what if the wiring is messed up inside the airbag where you can't see it......Murphey's law.....
I don't know if you've had an airbag deploy in your face, but its not really fun.

 

The airbag is the original OEM one that is in my truck now. What would be wrong with it or mis-wired?

 

hes saying that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

 

just pull the airbag fuse before you start working on it

 

I am used to that. I doubt an airbag would do this to me though



The battery will be disconnected per the removal / installation instructions for the steering wheel...if the lightning wheel does use the same airbag as the standard f150 wheel

 

well i hope it all goes well, good luck
