VR Ute- Big job to fit airbags?

[Brett_jjj]

From looking at the wiring diagrams for the SRS systems,the SRS modules power comes from a Pink/black wire from fuse number 18 under the dash,so check that the fuse holder has the metal contacts for the fuse.Also check the wiring plug that is under the seat,the Pink/black wire should also be visible there too.Maybe put a fuse in and see if you get 12 volts from the Pink/black wire at the plug for the SRS module..If the wiring is already there for the SRS module under the seat,then the fuse holder is probably right to go to, the jobs half done already if thats the case.The SRS systems dont have anything to do with the BCM,the SRS is a completely seperate system from any others.The only other wiring is a brown wire that goes from the SRS module to the SRS dash warning light,and a Black wire that goes from the SRS module to earth.Theres also 2 wires going from the SRS module to the ALDL connector,one is a Brown wire,the same wire that is also connected to the SRS dash warning light,and the other wire is the SRS serial data wire,this wire is White/blue.Im not sure which ALDL pins they both connect to though.That just leaves the steering wheel,clock spring and the dash wiring which may or may not be there already,Id just strip a car that already has the SRS system fitted,then it should just be plug and play,thats if you are right about the wiring to the module under the seat already being there.....Also there are no other crash sensors anywhere around the car,the only two crash sensors are located inside the SRS module under the seat,in the event of a front end collision,these sensors have to both send a signal simultaneously to set off the airbag(s)Anyway,if it turns out that all the dash and module wiring etc is there already,then it should be pretty easy to fit up the rest of it.....

airbags are more trouble than their worth.

in the event of a MAJOR crash - they're useless.

in the event, someone miss-wires one of them, and they go off - trip to the emergency room to reset someones nose/wire their jaw.

if your serious about airbags in the cab of your ride - you might as well put some satin scatter cushions in the cab.
