I don't think the leaking power steering line runs anywhere near the airbag sensors, last I knew there was one in the nose area, the one in the cockpit I thought was inside.

Mine just gave out - no leaking to warn me.

so i just got home and i got in my car when i was leaving my friends house and the service air bag light came on

and my seat belt was on.... and it told me it wasnt

so i quickly remembered this thread

Sint3K..... the body control module update takes care of both those issues??

mind you it was 30 degrees outside... and i remote started the car

Yep it also seemed to happen more when i remote started my car as well but did it completly randomly. One time it didn't happen for weeks then started doing it again.

When my battery was going kaput, i would get "service airbag system" on occasion as well. When the voltage drops a certain amount, as you can imagine, those systems cry for help.

i agree with you because my battery went out a couple months ago and the dealer fixed that... before that happened the air bag light came on all the time


and now... new battery.. same thing.. maybe somethins up with my electrical?

My battery went bad way after the airbag crap happened. But the day i got the car i installed a optima battery in the trunk and wired them together so if something eletrical effected my oem battery common sense says it would effect my optima battery and its still working fine. Only reason i noticed my oem battery wasnt charging was when 2000 watts of subwoofer bangs and the lights where dimming.

I'm going to just replace it with a optima , Anyone running over 1500 watts needs 2 batterys at least i also have a voltage meter so when they start dropping i stop listening so the car can charge the batterys. But theres times where i don't listen to the radio so its enough to charge them for when i am listening

I think caps are a big waste of money , not trying to be rude. Specially if you listen to rap its a big waste. If you already have a amp in your trunk then the wiring is already done for you :-\. Just depends on how many problems you have really , in my old monte carlo i had alot of bad experiences with batterys dieing so i bought a 2nd battery from day 1 i got my monte.

Had time to get to the dealer today ...

EVAP canister is on the fuel tank, not the typical round canister. $271 worth ... a few hoses connected to it.

I'll wait till the weather hits 50 this weekend to get underneath the car - too much friggin snow and ice in my driveway to work on the thing.

I was thinking with the space being taken up in my trunk if my power trunk poper stops working theres no way to get the trunk open and with 2 15's banging the whole car kinda worrys me that it will do something to the popper and no way to get to it threw the trunk :X
