Signs of a faulty part

If you notice any of the following, the part likely needs replacement:

Airbag warning light on the dashboard
Horn not working (often wired through the same steering wheel connections)
Diagnostic fault code related to this airbag circuit

Installation information

Requires the steering wheel to be partially disassembled — always follow correct safety procedures when working near the airbag system, including disconnecting the battery and letting the vehicle sit before starting work.

Frequently asked questions

The horn switch is often integrated into the same steering wheel pad as the airbag, sharing wiring through the clock spring — a fault there can affect both.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
