Went to install SRS Steering wheel in and can't seem to find the Orange connector or the wires for bag on wheel?
I know it had SRS as the stickers are still in glove box? What I am I missing? Does anybody know approx what part of the dash these wires start/ran through? Maybe where they may originate from? I pulled the dash apart behind wheel and found nothing...

Thanks in advance.

Lucky for you I have my SRS wires hanging loose, as I just rebuilt the front end awhile back & still didn't get the steering wheel back on straight. I'll have to pull that cover under the column to get you another pic to show where the wires go, but here are the 2 connectors that plug together & get stuffed into the little access compartment under the column cover. Sorry for the cell phone pic quality, but the left connector has gray & gray w/black stripe wires & comes from under the dash. The orange plastic connectors are slightly different shades. I'll see if I can get the other pic by Monday, as I need to pull that cover anyway.

I just pulled my airbag wheel last weekend. My Wheel had a wire running through it to the airbag canister and a connector on the back. That connector hooked up under the steering column, I tucked mine back in there but you may need to remove the lower cover to find it if it has moved around.
The SRS computer is above the knee bolster panel (on the left side under the dash) and is colored orange with all the connections cliped on to the front side, I believe there were 3, I disconnected mine so the SRS light would not come on.

I tried to put another post on here a week ago with a 2nd pic & it didn't post. I tried at home & at work. So, is the board software glitchy or what ? I was under the pic KB size limit for sure.
