I bought my son the vehicle listed above for his first vehicle. it was involved in a accident and the passenger side airbag deployed. We got it put back together and when we started it none of the gauges work. it says no BUS. We took out the instrument panel and it looks good. I saw somewhere that no BUS could be caused by the airbag. I am trying to remove the air bag but cannot find all the bolts. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

No bus problems usually have something to do with the computers not communicating which means a wire is broken or one of the computers is out. An airbag probably wont cause that. Here are some wiring diagrams (below) and a guide so you can do some testing. Check all fuses as well.
