Ok guys, yesterday i had a shop cut a hole in the inner fender right next to the battery, well long story short the wires in a yellow loom that go somewhere into the drivers high beam got tangled in the air grinder, the insulating tore open and caused the copper wire in the wires to become exposed, i separated them and wrapped them in black tape, but now the air bag warning light came on in the dash and wont go away, anybody know what to do? frown.gif

The sensors are on the sides of the A/C condenser. You have to pull the condenser to access the two Torx bolts per side to remove/replace them.

But back to your original question, I would for sure make the shop who did the damage pay a good Toyota dealer(you may have to go out of town) to fix it. Airbags can save your life and you don't want just anyone messing with them.

New Toyota project coming soon...
