Default The pot hole that ate my car..



I was on my way home this weekend when i decided to burn some rice (a honda civic with the worlds larges wing and a trash can for an exhaust) I was toying arroung with him letting him pace me then blasting ahead then letting him pace me and so on, when out of no where i ate this huge pothole. Now my air bag light flickers on and off and occassionally stays on!!!! I wonder if i jarred something loose. However before i get into it i wanted get see if anyone had a decent starting points or words of advice.</P>


thanks all</P>

check to make sure you sensors are pluged in tight and not loose, also check the connections on the module itself

see what happens when you toy with socalled ricers they put their voodoo on you.

i would for now pull your fuse for the bags till you get it looked at you dont want for your bags to go off and have your car totalled because of the bags.

hehehe yeah those damn voodoo curses.</P>


What are the odds of deploying the bag?</P>


</P>


If i disconnect the battery terminal, pull the fuse and then check the airbag connections i should be ok right? Or is their danger from when the power is restored of a surcharge activating the bags? I hate the idea of taking it to a shop and being charged for reconnecting loose wires.</P>

Don't mess with anything that has to do with your airbag system. Just take it to a shop. You'd s**t a brick if you saw the bill for having to replace airbags. You're talking thousands of dollars.
