Airbag light won't turn off

[andruboz]

if i was sure it was the spiral cable- i guess i'd just buy a whole steering column and swap the wire. looks like its $75 for a column and $25 shipping on ebay. but then if its delicate i might pay $100 for a spiral cable just as broke. what a conundrum.

It's easy enough to test it out using a multimeter, before you drop any cash on it.

oofda. this is the quote from the discount parts place:

Item Number MSRP Core Price Price
8430622010 $275.02 $0.00 $214.52
Electrical - Restraint systems - Supplemental restraint system - Clockspring
Clockspring, yaris 2007 - 2010

same part # was used in rav4's in 06-08 and highlanders in 08-09.


called the junk yard. It was $75 for a column on the phone and $125 at the counter when i got there after work.

the bitch is its a closed junk yard so they wont show me the column until i pay for it and if they take the airbag off with a sawzall, they are going to ruin the clockspring in the process. got about a week before my inspection sticker expires. s'pose i better go trouble shoot it to the clockspring for certain before throwing money around.

hey, i just got a flyer in the mail for the Versa.....

If you buy a used one, make sure that the driver's airbag didn't pop on the vehicle, as when it does the connectors melt.
