Default If I was an airbag sensor....

What would I look like?

I am finally tackleing the "Infl Rest" light on my 90. Got the drivers side wheel well out, the battery cover off and the wheel itself off. Now I see alot of wires and a little 1" by 2" black box attached to the frame directly inboard of the battery. Is this it?

Also, the tech tip makes it sound like there are 2 of them. A matching one on the passenger side??

The black box in question has an arrow on the top of it pointing forward

Anyone? Anyone? I'd really like to know before I tear into the passenger side.

The impact sensors are small black boxes about 1" x 1" x 2"s. I don't know how many there are, but there are probably more than two. I'm not sure on that though.

Most Air Bag components have bright yellow plugs with an orange "pin" that keeps them from coming unplugged. There's another thing you can look for.

Hope that helps some :chevy

Ok, it sounds like I got the right "box" on the drivers side. PHEW. I didn't want to have to take all that **** back off if I had gotten the wrong thing. Guess I will start taking the passenger side apart now to look for another one.

Thanks ZBRA :seeya
