I'm having problems with the lower half, (bottom half). The lower I go on the steering wheel, the harder I have to press to get any effect. The lowest controls don't really seem to work at all. I don't know if it'* the contacts, the controls, or just dirt. I took a air hose and tried to spray behind the bottoms, but there was no differnce in the effect.
Has anyone ever had that problem?

I don't know the procedure for the airbag by memory, and won't risk someone else potentially getting injured by trying to explain what I do remember, but every Haines and/or Chiltons I've ever looked at for an airbag equipped vehicle has the procedure in it about 10 different times.

DISARMING THE SIR SYSTEM
See Figures 12, 13, 13, 14, 15 and 16
Proper and safe operation requires the sensor, brackets and wiring to be installed in the exact locations of design. All components service must be exactly aligned and tighten to exact torque specification. It is not advisable to service the air bag system. The information provided is to help you understand the system and disarm the system if other non-air bag system service are to be performed.
Before beginning the disarming procedure, read all service precautions.
Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicle'* wheels are pointing straight ahead.
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position, remove the key, then disconnect the negative battery cable.
Wrap the end of the battery cable with tape to avoid possible terminal contact.
Remove the AIRBAG fuse (fuse #7 for 1992-93 vehicles, or #1C for 1994-99 vehicles) from the fuse block.
With the AIRBAG fuse removed and the ignition in the
RUN position, the AIR BAG warning lamp illuminates. This is a normal operation and does not indicate a system malfunction.
Remove the left side sound insulator/steering column filler panel and courtesy lamp, as needed.
Remove the Connector Positive Assurance (CPA) lockpin on the yellow 2-way connector at the base of the steering column.
Unplug the yellow 2-way SIR connector, located near the base of the steering column.

If equipped with a passenger side air bag, remove the right side instrument panel sound insulator to access the connector. Remove the CPA lockpin, then unplug the yellow 2-way passenger inflator module connector. The connector is located at the base of the right side instrument panel, clipped to the knee bolster (tie bar and steering column filler).

Fig. 15: Passenger'* side SIR connector location - 1994-99 Buick shown
Fig. 16: Location of the 1994-99 Pontiac passenger'* side SIR connector
If necessary, connect the negative battery cable. The system can now be safely serviced.
