ok so im doin a complete airbag swap in my gf's car . i got the bags and a clockspring and a module. .
now i got the new bags in place and plugged in,
Question #1: i reused the same clockspring, is that ok? they dont go bad when the bags pop right?

Question#2 where is the sensor located in the front that i need to replace? i didnt recieve one with my set of bags so i need one because im sure u cant reuse it can u?

Question #3 if i reconnect the battery with the bad module and sensor from the old set up will the new bags deploy?( this would be a nightmare!)

Question #4 where is the module locateD?

It's in the SRS control unit.

Probably not, but I wouldn't risk it.

Under the center of the dash by the firewall.

 

clockspring is that circle piece under the airbag with the 3 plugs on it. . i think thats what its called right?

so the module and the "sensor" are one in the same or 2 different things


also is the module easy to get to? u said in behind the dash? sounds like a project.

I call that a cable reel.

The impact sensor is inside it.

No, I said it's under the dash. Easy to get to. Under the 2 black covers.

 

ok so thats not bad, i just need to replace the sensor/module and im all set. . why is it no matter how safe u are with airbags u always gotta fling when plugging them in and connecting the power back up? they make me nervous

 

Make sure the battery has been disconnected for at least 3 minutes before working on the system.

 

ok thanks
