3. In vehicles with airbags the red 12-pin connector/plug-in connection must be disconnected no sooner than two seconds after the battery has been disconnected (risk of unwanted activation).
What plug are they talking about? I've looked and cannot find a 12-pin connector.

The battery MUST be disconnected for any form of electric welding, or you can induce spikes, reverse voltage, AC current into the system = exploding battery, wrecked/damaged modules, etc.
The red 12-pin connector on the SRS/airbag main control module.
Failure to disconnect risks deploying all of the airbags and firing the two front explosive seat belt retractors.
