I've had the dreaded airbag warning light on in my car (52 reg 5 door stilo)for a few years now and came accross Deckchair's excellent guide on how to fix it.

I'm falling at the first hurdle though! I have no idea how to disconnect the battery I took the cover off by removing the screws and removed the clip off smaller cover inside and was faced with this... (click to enlarge pic)

I have no idea what to disconnect I'm fairly clear on the rest of the guide but if anyone could tell me how to disconnect it I'd be really grateful!

Thanks

Loosen this nut (10mm spanner) and lift the terminal (complete with the 3 black wires) off the battery post. Tie it out of the way so it can't accidentaly fall back and touch the battery post.

Simples..[squeak]..

Excellent - thank you!

Guys, I have one silly question.
Is that true that if you disconnect the battery you need to use the master code again? I want to buy a second hand interior for my Stilo and in order to disconnect the airbag sensor, I need to disconnect the battery for a half hour at least. I don't have the master code anymore but I really want to buy that brown leather interior for my car.

After having the battery disconnected the only thing I have had to do is reset the clock to the correct time.

This way I feel more confident of trying to clean the airbag sensor connectors
