Avoiding SRS airbags when running wires

[Mattdecker]

Hello all.

I'm updating my Patriot and I'm wondering how I go about running wires through the headliner and such and avoid the side airbags on the A and B posts.

I'm adding (once I figure out how to do it) 2 dual Dashmisers on my headliner to a power supply.

Run the overhead wires between the airbag and the roof line, not the bag and the plastic molding. OR avoid it all and remove the headliner and run it between the metal roof panel and the roof supports. I had the same problem on '13 and up Tahoes. Ended up running wires down inside the B post and in the support beams that are welded to the roof panel, should be plenty of holes to fish out of.

Thanks. I will have to try that when I do it.

I'm planning on hooking both Dashmisers to a Whelen CSP8180 power supply which will be mounted under the passenger side front seat.

Currently I have only the one hooked to it I can definitely tell a difference between the old internal power supply and the external one.
