Well you are still wrong. First it is not a detonator. It is an initiator, the Zirconium Potassium on the bridge wire ignites the output charge that then ignites either the Sodium Azide or equivalent. Detonators are used for "Secondary Explosive materials" Like RDX, Comp C, etc. Not gas generating materials.
Also Sorry things have not changed from the days of Quality Fram products as I am still a leading expert in the area and frequently paid for testimony in trial cases as an "expert Witness" I have over 35 patents in the air bag arena, covering inflators, gas generators, I designed the NASA Standard Initiator used exclusively for every spacecraft since Apollo. What are your qualifications? other than to try and dis every post I make. It's pleasure to have someone to put on the ignore list.
In life potential situations, just beacuse you saw someone do somethng, that does not mean it wise to suggest that someone take a possible risk with their life beacuse one else doesn't care about their own. That plain irr-reponsible.
first of all . . . . I never called it a detonator . . .
second of all . . . does it not seem like you agreed with me by using all your fancy inflated talk? "It is an initiator, the Zirconium Potassium on the bridge wire ignites the output charge that then ignites either the Sodium Azide or equivalent."
thirdly . . . the matter at hand is how to remove the airbag, not how it works.
these are instructions for a 98 maxima

Pretty straight forward and similar to what I said.
Here's another more general one.

Same procedure.
fourthly, I have done this many times for different people. I've even installed a resistor across the two leads going to the airbag wires for people that don't want to run with an airbag. There was even a swap where I witnessed of a full MKIV interior and drivetrain swap into a MKIII which involved installation of an airbag control module and FOUR airbags. I almost want to say that you have not taken apart the system by yourself at all. You might know a lot on the subject of design of the airbag itself but not how to service it.
If anyone has access to the actual airbag removal instructions for the 2003-up Murano I would gladly invite them to post them here. My thoughts are that it won't be that different from the Maxima. I however am not willing to pay $20 to prove a point.
Fifthly . . . grip, if I have offended you so much, then go ahead and put me on your ignore list. However, I don't believe that I've said anything offensive to you other than the FRAM comment but it seems that you have problems taking criticism from opposing views and different sources. I bear you no ill will.
That being said, everyone have a safe new years and don't deploy your airbags in a DD accident
