Can anyone tell me where the airbag impact sensors are located on a 94 968? Part # is 928.613.220 02. Accrding to PET there are two but PET doesn't show me where they are.

Thx for help.

I know in the 944 s2 they are in each of the footwells on the outside wall up high under the dash. They are boxes with a round connector a few inches down the wire from the sensor.

May be different in the 968 but probably not.

Thx. I'll look there

btw, someone said something about needing a special tool to get the sensors out. Any clue as to this? What tool do I need?

Yes they are tamper proof screws. Vice grips are your friend here.

Prospeed_Motorsport

yeah I see. the book calls them "Shear off" nuts. I figured vise grips would be my friend!

The proper tool is a serrated round socket, about the size of a 10 mm 1/4 inch drive socket. Baum Tools sells it for about $20.

Yea I saw that in the 968 factory manuals. But after looking at things I think vise grips will be just fine for getting it out.

I had a hell of a time getting the ones off that hold in the airbag controller when I changed it. Not much room for a vice grip under there so it was like one sixteenth of a turn each time while standing on my head.

Have fun!

you make it sound SO FUN!!! I can't wait to do this.... But more fun was replaceing the cruise brain in the 86 951 as I couldn't get the driver's seat out. so I was upside down and contorted and in a tiny place. On top of it I wear glasses (bifocals) and I had to look out of the tops of the glasses wehre they are designed for distance vision rather than reading or less distance. Yeah... that was BIG FUN also. ;-)

I did my cruise brain with the seat in as well and getting the Frikin tamper proof bolt out of the airbag controller was worse. Not to discourage you or anything

Ooo, Ooo you're making this SOOO enticing....
