i know the obvious answer is "don't do it", but i have a 1997 Legacy air bag computer and a 1997 Impreza OBS that needs one.

 

After working on a few air bag systems I'm realizing how simple they are. A computer, sensors, and bags.

 

I think I'll give it a try. May check the Legacy sensors to see if they're the same.

Too bad you didn't know you needed this a week or so ago when I scrapped a 96 Impreza sedan with all that stuff in it. Might have increased your odds.

right on dave, actually i kind of knew it, i'm just too busy to keep track of everything. not a big deal and easy enough to replace, i'll see how the leggo works and if not i'll buy one.

The 97 Legacy SRS controller did not work in the 97 Impreza. They were actually different manufacturers so I wasn't too optimistic about it.

 

I learned the bags dont' deploy if the wrong box is installed!

 

I'm hoping it was the box anyway, someone previously hacked this SRS system up, cutting wires and ripping stuff out, removing brackets. Goofballs.
