Air Bag Module

[murman1234]

I have a 2002 911 Turbo, air bag failure light is on.

I am told my local expensive Porsche dealer that the error code says the module is shot. $1,400 will do the trick.

Renntech will sell me a new one for $400 bucks and change. Can a reasonably normal person make the switch and will the error light reset?

Do you know the part number? I stripped my '04 986S to turn it into a race car and have all the airbags (except steering wheel airbag) and the sensors.

If you can report the actual codes, that would help. Often there are faults in the seat belt buckles...I have not heard of an actual airbag module failure (not saying it can't happen). Replacing the bag itself is easy.
