    Just a quick question. Both my driver's side vents are badly cracked. I have replacements.
    Do I need to pull the Aux battery before just replacing them? Is there a risk of airbag deployment?

    Nope but you need black insides from you're originals . Pulling the vents there's no way you could activate the airbags literally impossible. The vent on the passenger side there is a yellow plug behind it but you won't see it replacing the vent

    I had replaced the vents on the 2006 before the engine blew after I put a new capacitor on the display.
    They are like a year old. Pulled them and plan to put them on the 2005.
