05 WRX Momo into BE

[BE-Fresh]

Searched a bit and I'm pretty sure it will fit, but I have one issue. When the wheel was taken out, the p.o cut this yellow wire:

Not 100% positive if this is for the airbag or cruise control. Wanted to get that situated before I started the swap.

Thanks in advance

airbag. Why don't you unbolt the airbag from the steering wheel to see?

[BE-Fresh]

The airbag is unbolted already. I wasn't sure that if the cut wire would be the same coming from the legacy, and I would be able to "fish" it through to the connector at the center of the wheel itself

Edit: Just went out and tried it. The connection on the backside of the airbag is different on each wheel. At first, I thought I could swap out the connectors on the clocksprings, but upon further investigation, they are both soldered in place.

Swap the clocksprings. ?

[BE-Fresh]

The wire from the clockspring to the dash on the Momo wheel has been cut.

[rougeben83]

swap plugs, or swap the charges inside the airbags to have the right connectors.

Post some pics i already helped someone to figure it out but i have to see to know where and what was cut and type of plug thats on the wheel

[BE-Fresh]

This is the wire that was cut. There's a space for another plug right next to where it connects to the side of the clockspring.

This is the plug from the back of the airbag to the front of the clockspring. I thought I could disconnect it and use it to my stock clockspring, but when I unraveled the black tape, I found out it wasn't a plug and was soldered in.

this is the backside of the airbag, and I don't think it can be disconnected, let alone completely different than my stock one.

Hope this helps.

in the last pic pry that yellow retainer up, then it will all unclip from the charge itself, if your stock doesnt have the yellow retainer then just slowly pry the whole connector if they are the same size then swap them if not let me know which one is larger. i think i still have one clip laying around somewhere it might fit.

I have a 2003 WRX momo in my BE and it was plug and play, just had to switch out the cruise control stock. Can't help you beyond that.

[LibertyFLS]

^that's what I needed to know. Thanks!!!!

[rougeben83]

The early wrx's (02-03) will fit, they use that annoying slide connector thing like on the BE's.
