Crash Sensor and Airbag Light

[rj_verrilli]

My Alert light is on as is my airbag light. The code says my left crash sensor is bad. I've searched the threads and parts list but can't find a clean answer for:


1. Is what I described a real possibility?

2. Where are the crash sensors

3. I've looked on Pelican Parts but can't seem to find a part of this type in the catalog so how do I buy one?

4. How does it get replaced.

Any help is appreciated. If you could email me at ralph.verrilli@vistagy.com I would appreciate it as I don't get to this forum often.

Thanks for the help.

The sensors are located way up under the ends of the dash by the firewall. They look like this: Driver's side:

Passenger side to the right of the altitude sensor (can't really see it but it's there with the yellow and black wire going to it):

Look for the funky bolt heads, those are on all the airbag components.

Note: The nuts mounting the sensors to the studs can be removed with a special socket. I got mine at Baum Tools, I believe.
