Replying to: gmrozowski (Aug 17, 2007 7:07 am) Breaks on or off have nothing to do with the Air Bag system. There is a trigger in the front of the truck responsible for firing the air bag. In some instances, the angle of the impact fails to give this device enough force to trigger it. But more likely, it was just a bad sensor. In a '95, it's been exposed to the environment for 13 years. Moisture, and especialy if combined with salt (snow belt??) can cause the parts to just short out, causing the trigger voltage to short to ground through the corrosion.   Just a thought, The mechanic spoke as an expert, without knowledge on this subject??? Try another mechanic!! Replies to this message: brokenall (Jun 16, 2008 6:44 pm)

Replying to: gthfish (Jun 03, 2008 1:52 pm) I took my 2005 colorado truck in with the same problem today. Here is the bad news it will cost me 150.00 bucks to repair. They have to replace some sort of resistor , switch and the electrical wiring harness. They tell me there is a short that occurs in the wireing and it ends up melting the harness. The GM certified mechanic told me this is a problem that they have with colorado's and trailblaizers which I have one of those as well. The repair time is about one hour.

Replying to: tmumsey (Jun 16, 2008 3:21 pm) Hi you may write to the wrong member i spoke about the wire cut on rear door (ext cab) the belt trigger wire was cut on rubber cover (open circuit on belt tensionner )air bag light on second im not an expert like you said , but the air bag device need decelleration in an amount of time bettwen 0.4 to 4.0 G in less than 0.65 second i got a driver driving a Chevrolet silverado 2500 4x4 2007 who lost control on a gravel road at 70MPH hit a rock, lost the front right suspention and tire goes off , jump 15 feet in the air and finish is ride on pine tree. The front frame was bed 5 inch to the right, the rear differential goes off the center pin, the rear frame was bend enough, the rear box broke the rear glass NO air bag deploy ,you know why the GM tech came at your shop an scan the ecm answer : not enough deceleration in time required You talk about force i think there enough force there to bent the truck but not enough to deploy the air bag   Thanks Jean

Replying to: gthfish (Jun 03, 2008 1:52 pm) I have this same problem. I am currently having a small electrical problem. Something is draining my battery while I have it parked overnight and I always have to get a jump. I went to the auto parts store and had my alternator and battery tested and they said those were both good. Have you heard of any problems of something draing that is not supposed to be on but is.
