where is the airbag module in a 95 Bonneville se with bench seets and how do i disable the air bag system. i have a steady airbag light when the car is running.

The module is located under the front passenger seat.

There are a few ways to disable it, but the easiest and safest way is to just disconnect your battery and wait 10 minutes before working on it.

Edit: the 10 minute wait gives the module time to bleed it's power off. Like letting a capacitor drain.

ok so if the module is bad where can i get a new one. or one that is rteferb. how much.

Those are generally a dealer-only item. You might get lucky and find one in a junkyard.

If I call gm could they sell me one. But my biggest concern is the price.

It's either them or the junkyard.

Looks like I'm gone juncking

Thanks alot

You may have to have the dealer program it, however. I'd call them and ask before you plug it in to find either the light is on, or the air-bag just exploded in your face, lol.

The junkyard I go to is like the best in the USA

stoystown auto wreckers

Theynshould be able to do it for me.

I don't think they'll have the equipment (Tech II) to program the module to your car. They'll find it, but you'll have to put it in and take it to the dealer. Again, I'm not sure, call your dealer and verify.

Ok thanks alot for your help with this.

I don't think you will need to program it beings it's a 95. I think the programable ones didn't start till 96?

I know for a fact that 92-95 don't need programming. But the one you get from the wrecker has 50% odds of being bad also. The mounting location is prone to corrosion due to water in the cabin. It's at the lowest spot inside the car.

well i found one for 45$ is that a good prise for used or what

Sounds fair as long as they warranty it.

i looked at the light today and it was steady with key on steady wile cranking and steady wile idling. does this help with diagnosing the problem
