that's basically it. and, make sure to hook the airbag back up BEFORE hooking the battery up.and put the airbag away from anyone/thing that you don't want to get damaged should it spontaneously combust.

Go with the cheapest you can find. There isn't much to them, and one that functions is better than one that doesn't.

I have recent experience with another Toyota car. I went with the cheapest knockoff I could find and it worked out okay, maybe because i only planned to keep the car for another year or two. And for me the labor if I needed to replace it again was free. If your car is staying in the family for years...

If anything, I'd suspect the clock spring. They are fairly common to fail on these. One can be picked up, used, relatively cheap. Monkeywrenchracing sells their QRP, which is essentially their version of OEM at a fraction of the cost.

I have never received a recall notice for the air bags on my 2009 Vibe. I had the clock spring replaced on recall but that was it on air bag related stuff. By the time it gets to me the air bag manufacture will be bankrupt and out of business. That the way things go now-a-days.

Find them all over E-Bay in the $40---$45 dollar range!

The rough idle is common when the battery is disconnected. Let it run, and stumble, (without the ac on) for a few min, and the computer will relearn.

Glad you got it fixed up

Dorman makes clock springs, I was looking at their catalog yesterday. Try their site.

Have you had your airbag recalls done?

jamesmetairie

I see the oem Toyota part for about $160. on amazon.

I've purchased parts from GMpartsdirect before. They are great, but they tend to run a bit expensive. The Toyota parts direct sites sell them for similar or higher prices.

I'm with Jolt here, pick up the part on eBay or Amazon. The Toyota part number is 8430602110.
