SOURCE: I hear a "swooshing" sound underneath the dashboard.coolant smell

You have an air leak in your coolant pipes under the dash.
There is air in the system.
When the engine is off the coolant is dripping onto the carpet.

SOURCE: Airbags deployed

You have to disconnect the battery, replace the air bag modules (air bag modules are the things that explode in your face) and the crash sensors and the control unit or module that came with it. Reconnect the battery and the car should start. Hope this is helpful.

SOURCE: 2000 Chevrolet Malibu LS airbag problems

The passenger side airbag is a lot easier then driver side. Take the glove box out and you will see two 10mm bolts holding it in place. When you open the passenger side front door, remove the panel on the side of the dash and you will see yellow connectors.The 1 closest to the front is attached to the air bag, it is clipped into the frame. Just pull it loose and take it out and your done. For the Driver side, it takes a skinny T27 to remove the two star bolts, then just disconnect the horn red clip and ground and install new airbag. The module is located under the passenger seat, underneath the carpet. Kinda stupid but thats where its at. You also need to replace the front impact sensor located behind the grille on the back side of the metal bar to each side. Follow the hood latch down. Also just to make sure, you know to disconnect the battery before you do all this. You don't want new airbags to accidentally deploy.

The light should go out after you replace the sensor that should be in the front of the vehicle.You can check the fuse for the horn. However, some of the airbags that don't come from a dealers, don't deploy, but there is no way of knowing that until you are in an accident.

I have Lexus es 330. Passenger airbag cover is deteriorated and separated from dashboard. What can be done?

The section of dash will have to be replaced. Since it is the airbag, it is not something you should on your own because accidentally deploying the airbag while working on it can kill you.
If it is really bad and really bothers you, go to an autobody repair shop or Lexus car dealer to get prices on fixing it.

2009 bmw x6 :collision deployed passenger airbag on dashboard. Can i replace the airbag without changing/replacing the dasboard?

the dash pad -upper section to windshield shouldnt have to be unless damaged by deployment the other 3 sections -airbag location the part in line with the ducting and the knee area usually are damaged during deployment and unless you have been trained ir have working knowledge if the air bag system would have a certified trusted auto body shop survey the damage and advise if any under dash damage is present --they can also show a dash break down diagram as well as correctly installing replacement airbag

How du you reset the airbag light on a 2005 nissan primera

Depending upon which "airbag light" you see, it's one of two things:
  1. If you are seeing the yellow AIRBAG light on your dashboard, it means that your airbag system is not operating properly, and should be serviced IMMEDIATELY, because it will not protect you in the event of a collision;
  2. If you are seeing the light in the middle of the dashboard that says "PASS. AIR BAG OFF," it means that you have disabled the passenger air bag, and it will not deploy in the event of an accident. Follow the directions in your User Manual.

Airbag light reset sx4

There is a manufacturer's recall on this if it's caused by a failure in the front passenger weight detection system.

The system has a minimum weight required in the front passenger seat for the airbag to deploy in an accident (if no one is in the front passenger seat during an accident, the airbag does NOT deploy). If the system fails and the car cannot determine if someone is in the front passenger seat, the light illuminates and in an accident the passenger airbag WILL deploy, even if there's no one in that seat.

The purpose of the system is to prevent airbag deployment for a lightweight child in the front seat. The fix is to replace the seat weight sensor mat...free if it's the recall item.

Why is the sign ,, passenger airbag off'' showing and how do yo switch it on

Passenger airbag goes off if someone sitting in that seat or items weigh less than a certain amount. Not sure the amount because my daughter weighs 65 pounds and light goes off which means airbag wont deploy for her because it would do more harm then good. My son who teeters between 88 - 92 pounds the lights on at 88 and off at 92. So I'm guessing anything under 90 pounds airbag wont deploy. This is what the dealership told me as well when I bought it. I had daughter with me at purchase time.

I HAVE 2 2007 MERCEDES C230 , ONE THE BOTH AIRBAGS EXPLODED, DRIVER AND PASSENGER, CAN I USE THE AIRBAGS FROM THE OTHER MERCEDES?, IS SAME CAR, SAME YEAR, HOW CAN I TAKE THE AIRBAGS? THE PASSEGER AIRBAG...

The airbags will fit and swap over. The drivers airbag can be swapped over by itself.. The passenger airbag you will probably need to change out along with the dash since it rips the dash in order to deploy;. The airbags are considered a safety item and a very crucial item at that. Unless it's your personal vehicle I wouldn't use the airbags out of another vehicle. If you are not familiar with the Mercedes airbag system then I highly suggest you have a trained technician do the work for you. There are two manufacturers for the srs control module and airbags. If you mix the two together they can accidently deploy while driving.

Airbag light blinking--not deployed

The light indicates a fault in the airbag system - a problem that potentially could prevent the bags from deploying in a collision. The system needs to be checked out by your Nissan dealer or a mechanic equipped to diagnose/repair airbag problems.

1994 Buick regal gran sport coupe did not come with a passenger

NOt an expert but my guess is no. First an airbag uses essentially a powder charge to deploy the airbag. Installation and removal is not recommended for joe shade tree mechanic,it can be dangerous. Secondly all that installation has to have a place to mount and a spot inthe dashboard through which it can deploy. Chances are it if didn't come with one an airbag would have no place to "live". If it is even possible to have it done it would probably approach 50% of the value of the typical car that age. Good luck.
