Airbag replacement help
Hey
I was in an accident a couple weeks ago where both airbags were delpoyed. We just finished fixing the front of the car, but now that it comes time to fix the airbags, I dont know much about them.
Are there any sites that might have a helpful walkthrough or anything on them?
Also what do I have to replace, obviously the 2 airbags and clockspring, will I have to replace the module too? And will I have to drop the steering column and take apart the whole dash to fix the passenger side airbag and get to the module.
My last question is if the only sensor is inertia based and in the module, or are there actual sensors on the front of the car, I didnt see any sensors while the car was apart.
I appreciate any help someone can give me

As for the pass side bag, the entire dash will need to come out, and be disassembled to replace the bag. It is a large job, best to pull the steering column out at the same time.
Once all the bags and SDM "Sensing deployment Module" are replaced you more than likely have the airbag light on. You will need to head to the dealer, or someone with a Tech II, to have the SDM reset to the PCM and IP panel. Dealer hit me up for 60.00 for this, took them 20mins.
