Is your car not able to run now? And what year is it again?

 

if i start it up now yes it will run 2000 z28

 

Maudy mentioned resetting the BCM. I'm not aware that you need to do that, I would research that one further. Some cars (not GM) have an air bag inertia switch that needs to get replaced after a crash. Maybe that's a condition he's alluding to? Your car also has an event data recorder (under the center console) which records pertinent information during a crash, and the law can access that info if needed for litigation.

 

isnt that the module under the center console the bcm?

 

The BCM is under the passenger side dash, behind the glove box area.

 

hmmm...well now im confused, if i want to swap the airbags which do i change? right nw i car start the car but the instrument cluster is dead everything else works though

 

i dont know why the instruments would be dead, maybe just not getting power if you mashed the fuses or something at the front. Check its pluged in right still

I dunno exactly what needs replacing but there IS some sensor or BCM etc that only works ones and need to be renewed or reset. Like I say, i run without airbags anyway cause of the import costs and tax.

 

yea that i dont get that about the cluster either, if i turn the key to start it and then turn it off, the needles go crazy and then fall back down but when the car is running it is dead

 

i checked all the fuses and all are okay still dont understand whats with the cluster though. is there any other fuse boxes?

 

okay got the cluster back up, didnt know there was a fuse box in the car as well :P
all fuses are in order now

didnt get to start the car battery was dead, but whiles im charging, i saw a few lights on, abs inop, service engine soon ( on the right side), seat belt and a few others,i know some come off once the engine is running, but is there any that shouldn't be on once the key is in the run position? thx guys
