Hello all, I took my wife's 2005 Outback to the dealer about 2 years ago for a recall-mandated swap of the passenger-side airbag. Ever since then, the dash has been super-noisy -- creaks, squeaks, all kinds of noises -- when it's hot outside, when it's cold outside, just about any time. I'd like to figure out what's going on and fix it. Theory: the dealer takes the whole dash out to do the job, and they didn't tighten things up properly when reinstalling the dash. Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? Tired of the creaky dashboard in Watertown, Mass. Jeff -
My 2010 Subaru Outback rear ended another car causing the driver and passenger air bags to deploy since there was a front passenger. I replaced both bags including new airbag clockspring plugs wire connector for the driver airbag. I also sent off the front seat belts and the SRS Module to be re-sprung and re-set. After fixing the front end and installing all of the above airbag related components the car started but the red dashboard air bag light has remained on. The passenger air bag stays off also when occupant in seat. The codes retrieved are: 1A and 7A (driver airbag failure) and 29 (occupant detection system failure). The Subaru dealer then spent 2 hrs ($180) to give me the prognosis that I needed: (a) Instrument Panel Meter ($350) ( Steering Roll Connector ($30) © Passenger Seat Bottom Assembly ($850) (d) installation and programming ($500) ................for a total of about $1,750 !! I have a few questions: I am not sure why the Instrument Panel Meter is needed unless the red airbag light is permanently on? Supposedly the passenger seat assembly connectors for the sensors and occupant detection control module are not accessible but I came across an online schematic that showed the passenger seat schematic/breakdown and actually had a price on the sensor. The entire seat assembly was pricey verses <$100 for the sensor. Any suggestions on my next step? Thanks !!! -
I am from Westfield, MA and very excited to be member of this forum. I want to gain and share my knowledge about car security here. I also own business related to car safety like seat belt repair and airbag module reset services. I would like to share my experiences with latest techniques and help people to secure themselves from any type of miss happening.
