You have an '02,right? Wasn't there an issue about SES/CEL light coming on after the swap? How did you get past it?
the light is indeed on, i dont know how and why but i need to meet a guy i know who knows more about electricity than i do, il also drop by dealer and talk to a mech, see what they think
do you think the bag might blow in my face....
would suck huh??? :lol:
No, you would suck....all the crap out of the airbag,LOL. Seriously though, I thought Goosey had taken care of this with his swap? :?
congrats!
dunno , i just called him and he told me to check for a 2 wire harness behind the glove boxQuote:

well i had no choice but to do it , my auto tranny was stuck on third gear for almost a month,
the hardest part was to find all the parts and a garage really,
i had to buy some parts twice, lost a week waiting for them, then the guy who was supposed to rent me the garage had a heart attack , so i had all the parts but no garage
by calling all the local garages i was able to find a guy who worked with the heart attack guy for a couple of years, he called his wife and i was able to get it.
but then the master i bought from the dealer didnt have the clutch reservoir ,
the next monday came and i received another master ( which i had bought before chirstmas) and this one had the reservoir on it ( 2 G master)
so i returned my 3 g master , got a refund , and finnaly was able to starty the swap
got a full equiped garage with lift , heat and all tools for 7 bucks an hour
i proposed 10/hr to the little old lady but she said she was no crook , so for almost 3 days of work i only spent 160 in garage time
its an 02 ES, goosey told me about a 2 wire harness behind the glove box, gonna check that this week or nextQuote:

I told you to check the wires because i though you said the airbag light was on. Other then that you will allways have the SES light cause you'r missing a dam auto transmission.
my SES light is on ,
i thought the SES light was the airbag light
anyway i just checked behind the glove box and everythings plugged and a ok
any idea why removing the auto tranny makes the ses light go on???
brings me to another question, anyone knows how to blow the bags or to remove them unblown?
SES........... service engine soon
SRS...............Safety Restrain Supplement(airbags)
Just pull the bulb for you SES light if it annoys you. But in the event of a real problem you wont know jack.
