1997 Accord EX Wagon. SRS light came on and stayed on. The diagnosis is listed in the subject line. The estimate to replace the SRS unit is $652.30

Anyone know if there was a recall and/or if I can get the dealer to help on paying for/fixing this?

 

Ive heard something about resetting them, but I dont know how or if it will help that situation.

If it has to be replaced, try to find a used one.. on eBay or something.

 

That little SRS Control Unit is $652???
I'd just rather reach in the back of the instrument cluster, pull the bulb out, and take my chances.

 

Thanks for the suggestions.

 

Mine also failed i have a 2001 4cyl but mine was covered under warranty

I talked the Honda dealership into giving us some consideration. I did some research on the NTSA website and told them it looked like this part was about one phone call away from a recall.

They said that since I've bought 5 cars from them, they'd take care of us. Honda provided the part and we paid one hour labor at $68. Not bad considering the original $745 estimate.

 

i am glad to hear for once that honda did not charge someone an astronomical amount of money for something they are at fault for.:fawk: Glad to hear ur gettin it fixed much cheaper man.
