Default How to replace my airbags

Ok so i was in a Front end collision with a tree, it hit DEAD CENTER...but for some reason only my passenger airbags want off.

anyways, how do i go about replacing the airbags?

I Obviously need:

passenger side airbag,
Air bag dash cover
Crash sensor
Oh and my passenger seat belt is locked tight, need one of those i guess

what else do i need? do i need to replace the airbag module? or reset it or something? but i have all my other airbags intact

anyone with info, the way i see it from research is replace airbag, dash cover and airbac gontrole module and put the crash sensors in the front.

and replace all the belt things and hook it all up, then my airbag light should go off and everything will be allll good?

ya. im a collision body tech and do alot of air bags... Your right, youll need the pass air bag, the front crash sensor, which ever belt that locked (maybe even the buckle, dont know how the 350s work) the module. dont see why the driver bag didnt pop..... and im pretty sure the module is located under the center dash/arm rest console. (or thats where they are on the newer nissan maximas/altimas) BE SURE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY BEFORE DOING ANY OF THIS. and leave it disconnected untill the whole job is finished. EX. if you replace the seatbelt or pass. bag then connect batt. everything will blow again. your sensor is tripped so make sure you leave it disconnected till the job is done. the hardest part will be the module actually. lol getting my center console out wil be a lil difficult. If light is still on after the repair i bet the driver bag clicked but never popped. normally its both or just driver. drivers bag is CAKE. just two 10mm bolts on side of steering wheel then it pulls out. Hope i helped. Good LUCK
