Buying a used air bag: what to check

  1. Verify donor vehicle crash history: Ensure the donor vehicle did not suffer a collision that could have stressed internal pyrotechnic squib wiring or triggered deployment circuits.
  2. Inspect clockspring plug tab integrity: Check for melted plastic locking clips, singed wire insulation, or pry marks on the rear harness socket.
  3. Confirm single versus dual-stage inflators: Match the number of rear electrical connectors to your column harness, as inflator stage counts vary by trim and model year.
  4. Examine vinyl cover seams and emblems: Inspect for hairline fractures along tear seams, sun-degraded vinyl, or loose center emblems that could detach during deployment.
  5. Follow anti-static handling procedures: Store and transport the assembly face-up on a static-free surface to prevent static-discharge accidental deployment during prep.
