airbag question, need help.
when i purchased my car both front airbags were deployed from a rather light front end hit. so i went the poorboy-college student route and got a set of salvage airbags off ebay. i got them and everything looks all good, but ive never done this before and i got a question. also any other tips you guys might have regarding airbag replacement are welcome of course. looks like all that needs to be done is plugging these things in....is it that simple?
what in the hell is this thing? and where does it go?
here's a bigger pic of it. the guy who i got it from referred to it as a module..???

Maybe that helps.
I actually think it may be under the steering column. I'm going to check the helms manual, see if I can get a definative answer.

This should be obvious... but be absolutely sure that the electrical system is completely disconnected and de-energized when you install the new airbags.
They deploy with tremendous force, so always carry them facing away from you... particularly if you have to disconnect them for any reason.
I've seen one go off due to static discharge after being removed. It was resting face down on a work bench. When it deployed, the whole assembly punched through the sheetrock celing and wedged itself in the roof joists 15 feet up. :shocked:
The procedure for replacement is in the Helms manual, I'm sure of it. It would be a very good idea to be familiar with the whole process before you start. :hsughr:

yeah man i beleive about these things shootin through a ceiling, i could definitely see that happening. never thought about static discharging it, but thats i could also see that happening. i disconnected the battery before i started too. well as of now both bags are in and connected but i still dont know what to do with that other thing that i have picture of. im gonna go look again under the steering column to see if it is the "srs main" thingy thats in the diagram Nors posted.

Sorry i cut some of the picture off.
Its not the SRS main harness, it is the one with a line pointing to it with no description beneth the steering column / behind the radio almost, hard to tell in the picture.
That picture is of a 1994 integra, what year is yours?
