I unplugged this thing that was attached to the hood altch.. I have NO idea what it is.. But I think it made the Airbag light start blinking.. It blinks 3 times, then a pause, then 2 times...

Look at the pic.. It is the cable that is hanging infront of the radiator..

What is it? What does it do? Could it make the light blink?

It is probably part of a crash sensor. Maybe you should plug it back in ASAP to prevent a deployed airbag!

yup its prolly the sensor that you unplugged...i doubt it'll do any harm,b ut i would put it back before you drive it...

it probably one of the impact sensors. dont worry your airbag wont go off. just plug it back i to stop the light blinkng duh. if the airbag light is on that means there is something wrong with the airbag crash system. an error as u were. so the default procedure is to deactivate the system. in other words the airbag will no go off if u have a bad enough accident. so dont get in one.



and why did you unplug it in the first place?

I unplugged it because I got in an accident, and I took off the front end..

I plugged it back in, and now it blinks 4 times, then 2 times..

I need a code puller

well maybe you need to reset the computer while its plugged in, then see if a code comes up?
