Do you just replace the blown air bags and move on with your day or are there any special scan tools or SRS modules that need to be replaced/reset after the front air bags have been deployed and replaced?
I did a search but didn't see a writeup on removing the dash from a 2004+ grand prix. I bought a 2005 Grand prix with blown front air bags from lightly tapping a tree and the car just needs a bumper and hood. The drivers airbag was no problem but I went to a junk yard and tried to get the passenger side air bag out and it looks like the whole dash has to come out to get the passenger side air bag out.
Does anyone have any pics/tips/advise on removing the passenger side airbag from a 2004+ grand Prix?
I started taking one apart at the junk yard (it was 14 degrees outside today in Michigan) The plastic under the windshield started cracking like a potato chip and it looks like you have to pull the windshield out to get to the bolts to remove the dash.
I did manage to get a passenger side air bag out but wrecked the dash in the process so I will have to try and get another dash when its warmer outside. Getting this dash out without breaking the fragile plastic is not going to be fun in the cold.
My thoughts now are to just plug in the new drivers and passenger airbag and leave it on the floor to test and see if I got a good air bags from the junk yard. hopefully the SRS lights will go out on the dash. Just looking for some thoughts/advise before I do this. Don't want the passenger air bag to deploy again for some reason if its not mounted in the dash while I test to see if its good.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or advise!
