Wiring harness for the airbag.
#1
Wiring harness for the airbag.
I have a 2006 G35 coupe AT RWD.
I was replacing my airbag on a hot summer day in Texas and I chipped off the connector to the steering angle sensor to the airbag. I was unsuccessful in repairing and was in midst of moving to Colorado. Currently I have my car at the dealership to get it checked out. They wanted $4k for the wiring harness and to fix the airbag.
I'm asking to see if anyone knows the wiring harness part number for the dashboard/airbag and the security bolt to hold the airbag in place? I tried to look into it on infinitpartsdeal and other sites but no luck searching or I'm dumb to find it.
My family is telling to sell it but I'm torn in between selling it and trying to fix it up.
Thanks all.

It's the spiral cable's air bag harness connector. Looking at the Factory Service Manual, the connector and its short harness appear to be integral to the spiral cable. I would try searching on the spiral cable. If it's integral, you might have to head to a yard to find a coupe, remove the spiral cable, and then splice in the connector. I doubt that you are going to find a source for the connector alone.

Go to a pick-n-pull wrecking yard and salvage the harness off a donor car. Then solder/splice the harness onto yours. $15 fix.
You're definitely not going to find that connector for sale anywhere though, needs to be cut off a factory harness. If you don't have a local pick n pull with a suitable donor then check eBay.

I don't have since time to look around for a donor car at a salvage yard one due to my busy work month, so I'll just consider buying one off ebay. Are any of these have the airbag connectors and will fit my '06 G35 coupe? Any guide on soldering/splicing the harness or should I ask around for a mechanic to do it for me?

Personally I think that's a bit wild since you only need to replace just the one plug for the airbag, not the entire harness. I personally would just snip the plug off the donor and solder those 4-6 or so wires which is about 15 minutes of work for me. If I was to charge someone for the work and they were supplying the parts I might charge $100 if I didn't know them since it's such a quick job.
Sounds like he's charging you to actually replace the entire harness which involves taking the dash apart.

Couple questions:
Are the wires easy to cut?
I never did any soldering in my life. Should I go to someone that can do that and pay maybe $100 or more for them to do the soldering?
Thanks so much for the replies. Great help.

Soldering isn't difficult but given the nature of that harness (life saving equipment) I think you should have a reputable local stereo shop do the work. Those guys are soldering wires literally every day.
I wouldn't use a solder-shrink EZ connector on that harness, needs to be actual solder, with heat shrink tube.
Yes those wires are easy to cut, it's probably only like 16AWG or so. Any pair of side cutters should work, the ones that look like this.
Stay away from the little micro flush cutters that look like this, they don't work great for cutting wire, they're designed more for flush cutting off zip tie ends and other things that are plastic.

Hey there, just an update on this. I got the wiring harness soldered by a mechanic and it still shows up VDC off and slip on. The mechanic also suggested that I did replaced the struts and brakes, the whole set, so I did got them replaced but still shows the VDC and Slip on lights. Any idea on what to do next?

Best bet is to pull codes and see what the car is throwing. With those lights on there are B - Body or C - Chassis codes stored. Most parts houses have scanners that will read B, C, P codes.
Make sure to get the actual code numbers like B1230 or C1432, not just generic descriptions like (wheel speed sensor)

yo just an update from a busy work life. Thanks for the help cleric670, I pulled a P1211 code but I got resolved with a steering angle sensor reset/calibration. I called a couple local places to do it for me but one said they were lazy to do it and the other to do it at a dealership, (called two popular chain shops). Car hasn't been registered in my state yet as the registration been expired in another state so I couldn't drive it safely, so I bought myself a Foxwell NT650 elite scanner and did the SAS (Steering Angle Sensor) reset myself and it costed about under $200 which saved me a visit to the stealership.
