ok well i have a 97 s14 and i was in an accident where both airbags came out. So i went to the junk yard and found airbags and dash of of a 95 or 96 s14. Now everything fits correctly but the sensor that is under the rear seat, is two different ones, the older 240 is bigger than the one that is on my 97 right now. I was wondering if you even need to replace that or what do i need to do. Thank You

You have to replace it. The Kouki models use a different module, go back and get the airbag harness from the car and use it, you'll need to cut/splice the end that plugs into the dash harness.

You have a Kouki, right? Then obviously yes.

ok so just to make sure i am doing it right if i go back i will be getting the whole air bag wiring harness assembly so that i will be replacing the whole wiring or would i just be cutting the plugs off the old one and cut/splice them onto the wiring already in my car??? Thanks for the help this is just first time trying to do this so wanna do it right.

Christ mang, it's not that hard.

You either can use a Kouki module and plug it right in, OR a Zenki module, with the airbag harness, and rewire the dash plug.
