Yea so i was driveing in worcester ma on (rt.20) and a dump truck decides to STOP and the red monte carlo in front of me hit him and i hit the monte carlo .......now i have to pay $500 Deduct. and wait to get back.

 

Sorry to hear about that....At least you're ok

 

ditto, matty! But, i'm still sad for the maxi.

 

yea .At least its only 500 bucks and not what it actually costs to fix it man. And cars can be replaced you cant . Get a honda or some cheap pos to drive for a min

 

that sucks dude.... glad ur okay...

 

u can try... they fixed bunch of extra stuff in mine when i had my dashed replaced...

 

Yea..... anyone have any idea why the airbags dident deploy????

 

u may have went over the sensor. It has happened. but also how fast were you going when you hit them?

 

i was going about 30-35 Mph..and does anyone know where the sensor is?

 

should be in the front bumper . or maybe in the center console i cant remeber . i will have to go look it back up

 

The main airbag control module is under the center console, and IIRC the sensors are in the bumper. Sorry to hear about that man. Rte. 20 is a fun road to drive on when there is no traffic tho...

 

sorry to see this..


i don't think i've ever seen your car around though

 

I thought the airbag module just sensed impact itself, no external sensors? I've had my bumper off once or twice, never seen one. Same on an A33B, haven't seen a sensor up front.

 

i think they are.

 

That phrase makes zero contextual sense.

 

i know that there is one in the ceter console and theres one up front . i just cant remeber where.

 

Glad you're ok,Really I am!

I know we got beef but if you get a new maxima you wont put a dump valve in it.

 

I was waiting to see how long it would take for someone to mention that...

 

Long enough huh? Were you in that other thread when I made fun of him?

 

Yea, I believe I did the same.

Seriously, dump valve...wtf.

Anyway, back on topic.

 

okay just for you i promise...

 

okay okay....no nore dump valve.....everyone learns from their mistakes....

 

Ok so we're good now?

If so I can't believe you had to wreck your Max for us to settle this.

 

Looks like the impact was up above the bumper, into the headlight and grill area. That area is soft so most of the impact was absorbed by the vehicle. The airbag is triggered by the impact or force sensor which is part of the SRS module which is located under the center consol storage compartment. Being the area where the main impact happened crushed easily, there wasn't enough of a jult to trigger the bags. I hope you had your seatbelt on. The car looks like a total loss or very close to it. If the bags were deployed, it would definately be a total loss.
Keep us posted.

 

yea where good......i know i Wrecked my car just to hear you say "glad your okay."...lol no but ...my insurance guy is comming tommorow to tell me what the damage is ....so i dont know if it is totlaed but i dont think it is.....the bumper dident even get touched....and the damage stops at the radiator.. WISH ME LUCK..

 

oh shy* you know what i just noticed.....i have no front lisense plate......damn that sucks.......hmmm mayb ill just have one in the back on my car when i get it fixed.......wow i just relized this.....i wish i knew, i would have found it ...snow plows have it in a pile of snow somewhere now.

 

sorry dude

 

Hope it works out, looks like a lot of damage though. Good luck!

 

I would fix it if i was closer man.

 

Correct, and for the side airbags (if you have them) there are LH and RH satellite sensors located somewhere near belt pre-tensioners.

 

sorry dude, glad to see you could stand and take those pics afterward
and IMO it dosent look like you'll be getting it back....just a nice check from insurance. Off to look for another max. !
Sometimes all this modding seems so pointless because you can loose it all in one second (weither your fault or not).

 

What happened, hit a fat chick?

Accidents suck the big one for sure...

 

were the roads bad? Well yah good thing u didnt get hurt.. but next time make sure not to be really close to peoples rear wen it is bad out... I always stay about 20 ft back from ppl wen the roads are snowy...

also if it was not that bad out and a little slippy.... i kno our wondering ABS will turn on if one wheel slips and u loose stopping power that way if say all other 3 wheels were on solid dry tar.

 

the roads where bad but not like OMG.....i mean i wasent on his ***....but i was on a hill slope and he stoped QUICK and i did to but i slid at 30 Mph

 

Glad you are okay man that always sucks to see happen. I have seen your car at the greendale mall when i was coming from the gym. I was in the maxi with the black rims don't even know if you remember.

 

i dont know if i reamber you....sorry i see so manny max's..but yea it does suck but hey everything happens for a reason.....look on the good side ( i get a new front end for 500 $)....lol

 

sorry man.

 

Damn sorry to hear that, but lluckily your ok.

If the airbags deployed it's totalled, not even for the cost of the airbags, but I've found the G sensor inside the module (that deploys the bags, to njmaxseltd) does a damn good job at also determining major damage to the car. read: if they went off, the car is fubar'd

 

thanks everyone for your support. ill keep you up dated.
