Ok guys i know i dont post much here but i am here regular
now the Hilux is a Jan 08 kun26r model with a 1kd-ftv engine doing 98k with diy servicing.. the warranty has expired and now some problems has been popping up
Thing is a couple of weeks ago the horn when pressed started to blow intermittant and then last week the air-bag light came on . this got me worried, so after some research on the link nigel1977 posted i realised it was the ribbon cable type
with this info i decided to open it up and and either find the problem and try to fix it or think of replacing it .
What i found was the ribbon indeed had a break in the wire so i will now have to face the stealership or look to bring down the part myself.. looking thru the service manual i am seeing the part # as 84306-0k020.
i know its a long read so i posted up some pics of what i did and what i found
