Luckily, replacing damaged airbag sensors isn’t very difficult and can be done if you follow a few simple instructions. 1. **Disconnect the Battery -** The very first thing you need to do is disconnect the negative charge from the car battery. Once you have done this, wait about 5-10 minutes for the charge to leave the airbag system so that you don’t risk getting electrocuted.  If you want to check to make sure that the charge has left the vehicle, you can try to turn on the lights to see if they are still getting power. 2. **Locate the Sensor –** These are usually located in the front of most vehicles; your vehicles user manual can tell you exactly where it is located for your specific make, model, and year. ![](https://blog.myairbags.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Front-Impact-Sensor-MyAirbags-300x217.png?width=300&height=217&name=Front-Impact-Sensor-MyAirbags-300x217.png) 1. **Disconnect The Sensor –** When you get to this step you should be glad that you already disconnected the battery. Ensuring no electric charge is going through your SRS system 2. **Install the New Sensor –** Once you have the repaired or new sensor, it is very easy to swap out the parts.   Previous Post ###### [Nissan SRS Code B1425 Rear Collision Detection](https://blog.myairbags.com/nissan-srs-code-b1425-rear-collision-detection) Next Post ###### [New motorized seat belts with seat belt module.
