On a 2004 Honda Civic what do I need to replace crash airbags.?

Question

I have a 2004 Honda Civic 2dr coupe and i need to install new airbags, what do I need. At one point the car had them but I bought it salvaged and now California Highway Patrol requires me to put new ones in. What do i need, module, air bags,?? maybe even seat belts although mine work. also where can i find them for cheap?

Answer 1

talking to man who has been in 2 horrific car accidents this year ( I cannot believe I came out alive in the last one) you do NOT want to go cheap on air bags and seat belts.  If it were not for those two safety features...I would not be lecturing you right now.

Answer 2

Answer 3

I have been in business for over 37 years and to this date I still will not do this for any of my customers mainly because of the liability issues and this is what you need to understand as well.

Reinstalling airbags is just not putting in new airbags, modules and sensors, you will need to run a complete circuit test on the wiring and scan the vehicles computer to see what is going on with the SRS.

All that I can say is don’t do it and let someone that knows about this like the dealer do it for you and that why you will be both protected by the airbags and the dealer will be liable.

Answer 4

you cannot purhcase airbags to install yourself.  Why? well that is because they contain a small explosive that inflates the bag.  This explosive is dangerous and cannot be installed except by authorized persons.  take it to a body shop or the dealership.
