Here is an ssm for your concern. Your dtc 36 matches the b1994 listed below.


It is for the driver "side" airbag. This vehicle will have the harness that


will run from the airbag monitor to the side of the front seats even if the


vehicle is not equipped with the airbags in the seats. There are 2 part #'s


listed depending on 2 or 4 door models. Thsi is basically an overlay harness


%26amp; fairly easy to install, about 1-2 hours time is sufficient.

The general advice for air bag is that they are safety devices and potential dangerous if they explode (deploy) during repair. So everybody says to take it to a pro to get it fix or checked out.








Good Luck...
