- In this video I show you how to replace a seat airbag. This seat is out of a 2021 Toyota Tacoma, but the process will be the same if not very similar to this.

What we needed to explain is how to re-sew and what type of thread, installing the bag is the easiest
Nothing on sowing back the seat.
Nice edits man, the pauses were really nice!
Plus, you explained everything pretty well!
So I have been rebuilding seats for 11 years. Can gut any in car to metel and back again ,dash seats headliner, anything. Like your vid. Show more of replacing everything. Headrest cushion staples airbag bottom seat and all electric controls. Show your complete install ,that would be cool. Good job.
I will make another video going more in depth! Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you , helped me a lot 🙏
Great video! So helpful!
Yeahya
@@kadevallace pls what's the name of the thing you used to remove the screws from the seats on the floor?
Great video! What else needs to be replaced any control modules or seat belts ?
This is what I do. First check ,run codes . You will have some. Need to replace your SRS module no matter what. Use new parts only. The codes will tell you if you need to replace the belts and buckles sometimes weight sensors impact sensors whatever . Any time you unplug the seat it will produce codes need to clear them. Just need time and patience.
Great video. I have replace thing for my Mazda. Do I have to disconnect battery before installing it?
Yes it is always safest to have the battery disconnected when installing and removing
Do you have any recommendations on where to order airbags ? I’m looking at replacement bmw competition seats and found a pair that will need an airbag replaced
Buy new parts only.
awesome video! do you HAVE to remove the actual seat?
Not always. I do because I think it’s easier but it all depends on the make and model of the car
I have done complete seat rebuild in a car but that's difficult just unbolt four bolts unplug connections under seat ,way easier to work on seat
I do it everyday
Great video....did you have to replace the side impact sensor,or is it reusable..
If the impact sensor isn’t physically damaged in the accident then it will be reusable
good job. Question how much to re stich the blown part of the seat? Any idea the cost. Thanks
$75 is what my local upholstery shop charges me
How do they test the strength of the air bag seams, to verify correct operation?
Crazy question since you know about this stuff. I found a wrecked 2018 4 runner close to me with heated seats looks the same as yours. So if I buy them and replace the airbags , get them stiched think it will throw a light in my Tacoma ?
As long as the airbag connectors / plugs are the same you won’t have a problem 👍
@@kadevallace thanks man ! So I don’t have to get the new airbags programmed or anything just plug and play
@@Overlandlife_ Theres only a few scenarios you have to do any programming. Since you’re just replacing the airbags and not doing anything with the module you’re good. Sometimes you have to use a scanner to clear the airbag light if it doesn’t clear by itself after replacing the airbags.
Just a reminder always make sure to disconnect the battery when you’re doing airbag stuff so you don’t cause any unnecessary problems👍
I was told that the airbags are very sensitive and I should have a professional do it I e watch your video and it doesn’t look very sensitive
Hi I'm looking for 2017 tucson passenger seat airbag,can you please suggest me where I buy in NYC.
eBay or local wrecking yards
@@kadevallacethank you
thnx
How much does it usually cost to have it re-stitched?
Got these ones done for $90
You can restitch but most of the time there is alot of damage. Cover airbag cushion etc. Easier to just rebuild with new parts.
Did you have to reset the airbag monitor?
Yeah anytime an airbag goes off or a seatbelt locks up from an accident you’ll have to reprogram the airbag module 👍
What if the airbags went off but there is no airbag light on in the dash?
Probably have to replace it. It's what I do.
Never seen a scenario like that@@z6zHcfgQNn
Can this be done by resetting using OBD?
Could you just buy a used seat the same model as your and hook it up to your car
Yeah you can do that. Sometimes it’s more expensive to do it that way and sometimes you have to program / recalibrate the seat to the car depending on the make and model
get a whole new seat for $65 at the junkyard with the airbag and everything... ..Or you could just get the parts you need...It also ripped seat cushion and fabric ... And honestly you're just better off replacing the whole seat depends how common it is to find them at the junkyard..
@@Pinkielover depending on the car you’re working on you can get a seat for cheap at the junkyard. The seat in the video was for a 2021 Toyota Tacoma and there was nothing available locally to me. Replacing the airbag is usually the cheapest way to fix a blown seat airbag for newer cars.
I'm looking at putting a set of 2014 F150 seats in my 1994 F250 OBS. The drivers side seat has the same cushion blown. Question is can I disable the rest of the seat airbags because obviously I have a non airbag truck? If so what would I need to do? Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your replies.
Sure you can ,but you never know what condition it is really in . Untrained eye will lose out. 12 years experience
I don’t know but Im pretty sure the upholstery shop will charge you more than a replacement seat from a junkyard. Not to mention you already spend money on the airbag.
Yeah between 150 200 dollars , just for sewing.Might as well buy it used.
@@jaygates3479you have to find it at a junkyard first. Idk what magical junkyard you go to but they often don’t have the right seat. So if your lucky it’s cheaper.
The new upholstery shop we use charges $75
It ranges depending on the stitching plus cost of airbag. For me it was much cheaper to buy it used .@@kadevallace
@@kadevallace is the shop on Toronto?
Completely skips installing the airbag.
I went to the dealership and they quote me 1200... A whole seat replacement I can find on the net is 400... and if I do this myself it would be way cheaper. F dealerships.
@@BornOfChaosAndOrder forrrreal they are wild for their pricing
Not helpful at all. Too much information on how unscrewing nuts and bolts and nothing useful
What else were you wanting?

Are you asking where the location of the airbag in your Toyota hiace?
