    Not done a fiesta before but did you disconnect the battery and allow the gem to fully power down before removal?

    Replaced my 2010 part leather/part plastic steering wheel with a 2014 steering wheel, advised to disconnect the battery for at least 3 hours before removing the airbag.

    Are you still using the original airbag or another supplied with the replacement steering wheel ?
