Our airbags cost how much to replace aprox.?

 

anywhere from $1500 and up...and i think it has to be dealer-installed for safety.

 

please tell me you typed an extra 0 by mistake...

 

nope i think he's pretty much correct on the price but i may be wrong. and yeah i would say the dealer has to install them for safety. i got mine replaced by tellin' the insurance company i wrecked the car which i did and told them the air bag deployed in my accident which it didn't. the air bag actually deployed in its first accident from the previous owner. so i told them i am not takin' my car without a brand new air bag. so they re-estimated my car and just the air bag with new computer and new sensors came out to at least $2300 but i didn't pay for it. the ladys insurance company which i hit payed for it.

 

This is all sad news. You guys think I can just remove the old one and go without for awhile. I guess I'll have to cut it out or something

 

just cut off ur old one and put clear maskin' tape on top of it to close up the big *** hole thats what i did before my accident.

 

Did you get your blinking airbag light reset too?

 

Time for a custom steering wheel!

I saw a 3rd gen airbag on eBay once for a few hundred... just the air bag module

 

I cut the old one out today. The problem is I'm broke at the moment and I'm working on the drive axles, clutch, windows, and now this.

 

well everything got resetted and all even the little light. the light actually turns off when u get a brand new airbag installed with the new computer and sensors.

 

I thought airbags on 3rd gens are optional? Because it still has that stoopid motorized seatbelts! Anyway, if it's optional, is it legal then to replace it with non-airbagged wheel from other 3rd gens? Otherwise just get a Momo or Nardi or something! They're a pleasure to hold anyhow!

Even though technically it's not legal to replace airbagged steering wheel with non-airbag steering wheel, who's checking?
