Re: Cabriolet airbag question

[Cheapass Ron <rapieper@yahoo.com>]

Cabby aribag sensors are located in either side of the drain tray that
runs across the top front of the firewall (this is the area covered
with that thin, black, vacuum-formed piece of plastic that always
breaks - you know, where you access the blower, ECU, and wiper motor). 
You can tell the sensors because the bolts used to attach them are the
no-tamper kind...you apparently can't get them off using conventional
means.

HTH - buy why didn't you tell me you were looking for a Cabby, I have a
'93 For Sale!!!
