I could never find “new” replacement parts for this. I had to get the gears out of a seat motor from the junk yard. I mean, I’m sure you could call a dealer parts department, but they would likely want to sell you the whole seat motor. They gears may not be sold separately.

I believe it is yes.

Nice! Great job! Glad this video could help.

You got this! Hope you can find a donor seat motor.

I don’t have this vehicle anymore. Sorry. I now own an ‘08 Infiniti G37 as my primary along with some other cars so….wont be able to help out on this.

I wish I could tell you that it would but….i just don’t know. I’m not a mechanic. Just a DIY’er like yourself. I’m sorry I can’t be more help.

Hey there, did you figure this out?? Having the same issue my car won’t start after being in an accident and airbags deployed

Water won’t get inside. But even if it does, condensation can form inside the exhaust pipes. it’ll all come out next time you run the car. Water would never make it up to the engine. All is well.

You might have to take off an exhaust hanger or two. I’m pretty sure I had to do that. But once you get the pipes reconnected, you should be good to go! You’re gonna love the sound.

Ok can you make a video or small clip showing what exactly you toook off

I actually can’t make another video for you for this. I recently had some work done to my car and had the muffler deleted and straight pipes installed. Sounds awesome. So the exhaust hangers have changed for my car. You can figure it out. You’ve gotten this far.

Hey! I honestly don’t remember if I did or not if I didn’t say it on the video, but definitely couldn’t hurt. I probably didn’t because it was just the module and not the actual airbag. Glad this video helped!!

@@toddlefortsgarage thank you so much.

He mentioned it at the beginning of the video, but did you try replacing the switch? That’s another common problem with these seats.

Not at all. It’s just a muffler disconnect. Actually, since I made this video, I recently brought the car to a muffler shop and did a total muffler delete. I had them keep the resonators and replace the flex pipes after the cats because they were leaking so bad and the car wouldn’t pass inspection. Sounds great to me. That’s all that counts. You should do it! 👍🏻

If it works when you plug it in directly to the battery but not when it’s plugged in through the connections under the chair, then unfortunately it sounds like you’ve got a break in one or more of the connectors back to the main wiring harness. I’m no electrician but sounds like you need someone to trace out the lines or rewire it to bypass the harness right to the battery. Good luck!

No it wouldn’t. I didn’t have a problem with that while waiting for the module to be reset. And I haven’t had a problem with it since. Never have had a problem with this setup. Hope that helps.

Glad it helped

Glad it was helpful!

Hi Antoinette. Hope you’re ok from the accident. Sorry to hear that. I’m no airbag expert. That’s really odd that the airbag light is not on. If it were me and the car was all repaired and the airbag light is not on, I would not personally make the expense or work to reset the module. Perhaps the repair shop took care of that for you when they did the repairs. You have to make the call that’s right for you though. That’s my opinion. Hope this helps a little.

@@toddlefortsgarage Thank you and thanks for your quick reply. I’ll be replacing the airbag myself this following week if the airbag light is still off I’ll probably take the initiative and not reset it. I started to get the center console out to take out the module and I’m having trouble getting it out. I started thinking if I do send the airbag module in what are they resetting if the light and code aren’t showing.

Airbag modules store hard and soft codes when there is an accident. Even after small accidents, fault codes will be stored in the module which will turn on the airbag light. When you send in your airbag module, they reset and clear all of these crash codes inside the module in order to turn off the airbag light. But if your airbag light isn't on, maybe there are no fault codes stored on the airbag module.

It’s been a long time since I posted that video. Did you bleed the clutch slave cylinder underneath the car by the bell housing? Do you know if your slave cylinder is good or not? The clutch slave cylinder is a moderate job. I replaced that before finally doing this job. Unfortunately, the clutch slave cylinder is inside the bell housing. Gotta check every part of the system. You’ll get it! Best of luck to you.

Hey Don. Sorry to hear about the accident. Hope you’re OK. I don’t know exactly. if you go to www.myairbags.com, they have a pretty basic airbag module location lookup. For a 2012 G37 it says that it’s “under center console on the floor”. Good chance it may be in the same place. Hope the video helps you fix yours. Good luck!

@@toddlefortsgarage Thank you for the quick response. I will try that!

If yours is blinking than it's much easier to remove.. there's a few steps you have to repeat in a certain sequence and it should fix

@@brandolopezz4397 not sure if I can follow! what steps?

@@Don-qz1cu one of the steps is switching the key on and off like 3 times look it up on TH-cam

Nice work! Glad it helped!

Do u still know were to send my airbag module

@@xxsupreme_01xx37 look up airbag module reset on google and read through the reviews of the companies you find, whatever has the best/recent reviews I would go with

@@xxsupreme_01xx37 I personally used safety restore

I really hope this helps you fix it Victor. I don’t have that vehicle anymore but I really enjoyed it. Good luck!

Did it fix your issue?

@@Zangetsu1435 Hello Amer, Thank you for commenting. In my case it didn't totally solve the problem but helped make the car drivable again. I'm not certain if it was the bleeding of the clutch system or the replacement of the clutch master cylinder. The slave cylinder inside the bell housing is the only part of the hydraulic clutch system left to be replaced. Replacement requires the removal of the transmission to get to it. I came across another TH-cam video were a Gen Coupe 2.0 T owner removed his transmission and replaced the clutch slave cylinder only to discover that his problem was the one I replaced. In my opinion it's better to replace the one I did first and see if the problem is resolved before pulling out the transmission. Best of luck with your repair.

@@vbared late reply but it's for future reference. The issue with many hyundai master cylinders is that they have fixed master cylinder rods(that thing with the ring that attaches to the pedal). almost all other asian cars have adjustable rods where you can lengthen/shorten the rod with a bolt and nut setup that enables you to change the clutch engagement point. if the rod is too short the clutch disk won't fully disengage and you'll have a hard time shifting especially in lower gears. The length of the rod is variable and depends on things like: clutch brand, disk condition, flywheel condition, etc. For some reason Hyundai chose to overlook that in some models. Long story short I had issues after replacing my clutch and changing the master cylinder didn't help. I ended up pulling out the rod out from the old master and replacing it with some random rod from another car. Shark racing makes a rod specific for these cars called "shark racing clutch adjuster" but it's pricey. The idea is to have a somewhat matching rod and lengthen it until you have the master cylinder push more fluid to fully disengage the clutch from the flywheel.

@@faresBtoush1990 I finally got around to the root cause of my issues. Thankfully bleeding the system prior to the actual repair bought me some time to get a transmission jack and tall jack stands. In my case the leak was coming from the clutch slave cylinder inside the bell housing. I pulled the transmission and replaced it over a weekend. It's been perfect ever since. Thank you for the info on the adjuster. I have a 1991 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS Turbo and a 2004 EVO 8 both of which have the adjustment rod for the hydraulic clutch system so I'm familiar with what you're describing.

Hey Raul. I just don't know. I'm like you. Just a guy trying to fix his own car. A quick look on the Internet "looks" like the cars are relatively the same generation so the SRS module may also be the same. I put in a previous comment reply that I used Safety Restore. They are out of Westfield, MA. I found their airbag module reset service on eBay. Here is a link to their website - www.safetyrestore.com/7-airbag-module-reset-service. I’m not paid to endorse them. Their price was reasonable and service was very prompt. Hope this helps!

@@toddlefortsgarage Thanks Todd, I will use your method and update you . Keep up the good work I will subscribe to your channel!

There is a difference in the modules. You’ll have to look at the part number it has .. it probably is best to get the module reset if there was airbags deployed or if the module is faulty. Once the module is fixed then whatever codes are left are the remaining issues with the car

@@MarioHernandez-bn6pm Thanks bro I will check that out soon, can I come back for you for advice on this? I may need to buy the front crash sensor I think I was told it’s Broken

@@racova3663 yeah that’s fine man.

Yes, there is a way to reset it without the service but you need the same software and module connectors that the company uses and the knowledge of how to do it. I don’t have any of that. For $40-$45, it’s worth it in my opinion.

@@toddlefortsgarage ok nice thank you! I appreciate the quick response! Just subscribed to your channel 👌🏽

Thanks Marcelo! Way easier right? No one wants to remove that center console. So much work. Glad this helped you.

@@toddlefortsgarage it doesn’t make any noise to go forward, i ordered switch and a passenger seat motor. The motor came in but idk if it’s the broken one. It won’t recline forward

@@toddlefortsgarage it reclines backwards Seat is currently out of my g37

I don’t know how to get to this motor. I’ve pulled the seat apart 3 times 🥺

@@toddlefortsgarage I figured too after doing my research that that’s the issue I really appreciate it I’ve been on my own but looks like I’m going to have to find an actually shop to do it for me. Thank you again!

@@toddlefortsgarage thank you

@@cesartenoco8205 I’m having the same issue even after a new transmission installed. I believe the issue may be the plastic rod that’s connected to the master cylinder so I ordered a custom steel one from Ryan@initialDIYmods. I have a new clutch, flywheel, and slave/ throw out bearing that I will be installing to solve issue but with everyone else already done that the only thing I can think of is that plastic rod flexing when it shouldn’t.

@@brandondub242 let me know if that work 🙏

@@cesartenoco8205 I installed the custom adjustable steel rod but it didn't fix the problem entirely. Installing my new clutch and flywheel this weekend. If that doesn't work then the last thing left is the master cylinder. For anyone else wondering, I do have new front and rear ATQ trans bushings and Megan Racing Trans mount.

@@toddlefortsgarage im having a issue with my gen and dont know what it is my car wont move and clutch has presure dont want to buy a new clutch just in case its the clutch slave or master cylinder plz help me

I just took mines out the gears are good I was missing one pressure washer on the rod but I don’t think that’s the problem either I hear no sound or anything I’m at stuck reclined foward…

Did you get this fixed? I’m having the same issue. I can’t find ANYTHING on how to fix the recline
