So i bought a new car battery for my car, Someone told me that you need to take the fuse out for the airbag as it could come out when changing the battery.

Is this possibe with a vauxhall corsa sxi 2002.

    Disconnect negative first. When connecting the battery connect positive first, negative last. Make sure no-one is in the car, but I doubt the airbags will deploy.

    And make sure you have your keys with you, as remote central locking usually switches on as soon as the power is back. Don't wanna lock yourself out

    Connect a separate 12v supply accross the battery leads to prevent any issue with lost radio codes etc, security alarm battery etc is ideal:money:

    Make sure you know the radio code.
