hateitorloveit Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I need to replace this cable. Does it have something to do with the curtain airbag or something else? https://postimg.cc/gallery/Gp8K0Tk Do they make you replace the whole curtain airbag system on that side of the car or can just this cable be replaced?

hateitorloveit Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 actually found this in the manual https://postimg.cc/zLBVN2Hm I think it's what they call the curtain airbag module connector. However, I can't find the part anywhere online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I'm guessing, because its a safety thing...you may have to replace the cable. A body shop maybe able to give you advice. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Shawn06SpecB Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 pink cable is part of the antenna that is in the rear window IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hateitorloveit Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) that makes more sense since there is no equivalent plug on the other side near the curtain airbag. I guess if I don't use the radio then not required. I see the cable going to the front of the car and under the drivers feet to a plug near the radio (but mine is pulled right now so I can't confirm specifically what it plugs into.

hateitorloveit Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 seems it's not available anymore so I might just splice and solder since it's not too important anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the cable doesn't seem to be easily repaired. Looks like tiny individual wires surrounding a white sheath and a copper wire inside that sheath.

hateitorloveit Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 I see a similar cable on ebay for a forester https://www.ebay.com/itm/274336056240?epid=1611330241&hash=item3fdfb403b0:g:htcAAOSwyuFelSEC Wondering if this will fit an 05 legacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
