Here's a pic.
I stand corrected! Is there a possibility the design changed for either earlier/later model years cars? Just asking the Q since I hadn't seen what model year XF you own. If they are all the same I sure would like to find that post I read that Pizza mentioned (I do not do FB but maybe once a month, and never went to a Crossfire FB page(s). I also am skittish when it comes to airbag modules, which is why I advocate the removal of the Neg Cable and wait at least 20 or so minutes (although most say 15 minutes). Rather add a few minutes than risk getting smacked anywhere from a discharging airbag.
