My sister-in-law took her car into the shop to have the front lower control arm replaced because it was bent, and for some B.S. Reason they remove the steering wheel and now the SRS light cam on and the Horn and Cruise Control doesn't work. I looked to make sure everything was plugged back in and it was, i also looked at the fuse and its fine. Its a 97 accord Ex 4dr. has anyone had this problem and how did you fix it.

 

turn the wheel upsidedown and check the wire on the bottom side of it

 

sounds like the clockspring or spiral reel is damaged or unplugged

 

I check the plug on the bottom and its plugged in. could it be the whole thing when bad? it work before they remove it.

Was the SRS light on when the vehicle was picked up?

It seems that the tech that worked on the car does not perform any quality control upon completion of his/her work. I would take it back and explain the situation and probably request that another tech fix the car, prefferably their lead tech. Assuming, of course, that it wasn't the lead tech that actually did this. And, if it's something they did which it probably was, don't let them charge you for the repair.

Sometimes people make mistakes. Releasing a car to a customer with the SRS light on after you just performed a repair and when it wasn't on to begin with is a sign of either stupidity or not-give-a-crapness.

 

no everything work before they touch the car. and it didn't come on until a short ways after they left the shop.

 

I would take it right back to the shop that did it as mentioned above by phootbag This is there problem to fix not yours or your sister-in-laws!

 

SRS light still on after reset. Dealer wants $500+ to replace SRS control unit. Will a '94 SRS control unit work in a '95? Both are LX. Only able to find '94 units online.
