  post locked   airbag module help  

 I have some experiance with airbag repair but I am trying to replace the passenger airbag module in my wifes 2008 gmc acadia. I believe it is in the console but not for sure, I dont want to rip it apart and find out it is somewhere else. I have a replacement module already the dealer told me that mine was bad and is why the light stays on continually, I took loose the side panel but can't see anything. So before I take anymore apart I need some guidance, anybody have any experiance with these? Thanks AD

It's under the dash pad, behind the glove box.

I removed the glove box and there is a plastic cover above, will I have to take out the dash in order to get to it or does that plastic come out?

thanks,
AD

to make sure I didn't miss word this it is the aluminum module that is about 3x6 inches with a big black terminal plug connection and is the part that controls the air bag system. I looks like a chunk of aluminum and has a number on the sticker =25861147 at the top.

I don't know what you have there. There is only one control module for all the air bags and it is under the console. What I directed you to is the passenger airbag itself.
You started this question by stating you had experience in airbag repair. I really wonder about that. I generally don't advise untrained people on airbag components as they are very dangerous but if you don't know the difference between and airbag and a control module, you need to stay away from this. If you're changing a module, it requires programming anyway.

I just hope you don't end up with an airbag exploding in your face. That's why we don't advise untrained people to mess with explosive airbags.

I will close this question now.
