INF REST issue

[tomtom72]

Hi guys,

air bag issue and it's not the corrosion under the sensors on my 90....I checked the drivers side, code 16, and it is still clean from when I did both of them when I got the car.

Looks like the diagnostic chart for 16 says it's either the ground or the wiring or the DERM. Also seems to be some special equipment to run the flow chart properly. Seems without tool # J---- I'm taking a guess unless I find fried wiring or something unplugged.

Need any advice as the only part of the dash I've been behind is the center stack to do the Dr Don thing w/the head unit. The wiring for the SIR sys looks to be burried fairly well and the DERM itself looks like it's half way to doing a heater core job.....oh joy!....looks like if I do this SIR thing I might as well do the "while we're this far" thing on the H/C...just for sh&t$ and giggles. I know, wrong side of the car for the H/C but the FSM makes it look like the center stack and the driver's side dash has to be out to get to the DERM..... might as well take apart the other side & do the H/C at the same time?

I guess I need some one to tell me not to pull the bulbs from the I/P cluster(little guy w/the seat belt) and the DIC but to fix the SIR properly. Oh, yes, the DERM's are ava @ about 500+ a copy. I'm not cheap but this stuff keeps eating at my mod buget!

Any opinions?

Tom
