Airbag Replacement
Hi all,
My car is 1995 Si Prelude and I was in a accident and both airbags deployed. Anyone here replaced airbags before? Any instruction how to do it?
Thanks for your feedback.
Jason

pain in the ***, because you have to replace all the sensors.....not just swap in new bags
i'd look for a dash swap for the ones with out a passenger air bag.......and maybe a dc2 type r steering wheel without airbag
if you were gonna have to spend money anyway

good luck in your next accident........im gonna write some direct quotes from one of my manuals
"The system is NOT repairable at home"
"The system must be checked after ANY frontal accident, even if the system did NOT deploy"
"the sensors and control module are behind the dash board"
not to mention these are first generation air bags which are known to have a higher chance of actually harming you in an accident because of the speed of deployment
there is a reason that repair costs are usually around $1500 per bag.......it's a sensitve system that requires special diagnostic tools to check and ensure proper function

"The system must be inspected by a Honda dealer 10 years after the date of manufacture as shown on the certification plate. Note that this build date will be earlier than your actual purchase date."
trust it if you want to though
