airbag multiplug orientation

[yoface13]

Hello all.

Here's a question that I haven't seen addressed in all the SRS/horn/cruise control/rotary coupler posts...

Does it matter which way the airbag multi plug (from the rotary coupler) goes back into the drivers airbag module? I apologize if it's in the RAVE manual. I can only pull up the workshop manual on this computer. I did see one video where a gentleman seemed to infer that it did matter, where the "plug pointed towards" something.

Thanks!

On mine, the leads go to the left, but I don't think it matters, it is the power to set off the pyrotechnic charge in the airbag that comes through that connector and it is probably not polarity conscious, if it was, the plug would be polarised.

okay, so i put it in with the leads facing left if i'm looking at the steering wheel. that sort of seemed like the way it was when i took it out. anyways, know exploding airbag in my face when i started it back up.

that's good news! new (to me) rotary coupler, airbag didn't go off, but neither did my srs light and my cruise still doesn't work. i've disconnected and connected pretensioner clips, the buckles, and all the other stuff everyone says to do, but the light's still on. i guess my next step is to pick up a hawkeye and check out the codes.
