In this video I show you how to replace a seat airbag. This seat is out of a 2021 Toyota Tacoma, but the process will be the same if not very similar to this.
So I have been rebuilding seats for 11 years. Can gut any in car to metel and back again ,dash seats headliner, anything. Like your vid. Show more of replacing everything. Headrest cushion staples airbag bottom seat and all electric controls. Show your complete install ,that would be cool. Good job.
This is what I do. First check ,run codes . You will have some. Need to replace your SRS module no matter what. Use new parts only. The codes will tell you if you need to replace the belts and buckles sometimes weight sensors impact sensors whatever . Any time you unplug the seat it will produce codes need to clear them. Just need time and patience.
Do you have any recommendations on where to order airbags ? I’m looking at replacement bmw competition seats and found a pair that will need an airbag replaced
Crazy question since you know about this stuff. I found a wrecked 2018 4 runner close to me with heated seats looks the same as yours. So if I buy them and replace the airbags , get them stiched think it will throw a light in my Tacoma ?
@@Overlandlife_ Theres only a few scenarios you have to do any programming. Since you’re just replacing the airbags and not doing anything with the module you’re good. Sometimes you have to use a scanner to clear the airbag light if it doesn’t clear by itself after replacing the airbags. Just a reminder always make sure to disconnect the battery when you’re doing airbag stuff so you don’t cause any unnecessary problems👍
I don’t know but Im pretty sure the upholstery shop will charge you more than a replacement seat from a junkyard. Not to mention you already spend money on the airbag.
@@jaygates3479you have to find it at a junkyard first. Idk what magical junkyard you go to but they often don’t have the right seat. So if your lucky it’s cheaper.
Yeah you can do that. Sometimes it’s more expensive to do it that way and sometimes you have to program / recalibrate the seat to the car depending on the make and model
get a whole new seat for $65 at the junkyard with the airbag and everything... ..Or you could just get the parts you need...It also ripped seat cushion and fabric ... And honestly you're just better off replacing the whole seat depends how common it is to find them at the junkyard..
@@Pinkielover depending on the car you’re working on you can get a seat for cheap at the junkyard. The seat in the video was for a 2021 Toyota Tacoma and there was nothing available locally to me. Replacing the airbag is usually the cheapest way to fix a blown seat airbag for newer cars.
I'm looking at putting a set of 2014 F150 seats in my 1994 F250 OBS. The drivers side seat has the same cushion blown. Question is can I disable the rest of the seat airbags because obviously I have a non airbag truck? If so what would I need to do? Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your replies.
