i checked the honda sites for parts and found this at:
http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...cgry5=SRS+UNIT
now i know where they are located and in my case my daughter is always
shoving books under the passenger seat.. so that is where i think its
located and she probably pulled a wire loose.. hope i am lucky.. the
sensors go for about $60 wholesale and the boxes for this is going up in
price.. bet the dealer wants to charge you about $300 if its a loose
wire on the sensor...they will replace the sensor which might list for
$80 or more and put in a new cable that they will want $25-50 for and
then an hour of labor so that will break down to about $300... they
dont work cheap, nor are the parts cheap....
and when in doubt they replace, replace, replace.... they dont make any
money just plugging something back in....
