What should I do to start a C6 when the airbag is triggered?

Is the light on?

DanAnd

Yes the light is on.
Left and right airbag is trigged.

Guy with a beach ball in his lap light on from one of the air bag connectors under the seat loose.

Or as in the air bag rigger and fired, with actual air bags fired out and in your lap instead?

In the case of deployed (fired), its a safety feature that the car will not start until the airbags has been replaced.

I don't recall ever reading about this issue.

So if airbags have been deployed (yet the car is still drivable) above poster indicated the car will not start until air bag modules are replaced.

So ttt...how do start the car will triggered air bags in your lap (or after you cut them off and remove them to the trunk)?

This is something that I'm sure very few have experience with. I would imagine if an accident is severe enough to have the air bags deployed the car would be towed away without needing to be started.

Short version, you call a tow truck to tow the car to have the airbags replaced.

Short of that, you need to jump out the air bag wiring harness with a resistor for the deployed air bag so the car thinks that that the airbag is still good to allow the car to start.
