    Help! What is this and where does it attach?

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z9r...w?usp=drivesdk
    Attached to a wiring harness is this yellow cube has an alloy lined hole in it. I’m guessing an attachment point. There is one on either side of the radiator and the one shown is on the right hand side, from the drive/passenger vantage point. The front clip has been worked on this car and it likely they were never reattached.

    Why not just upload a picture onto this site? Or is there a min post count before doing that? Maybe my tinfoil hat is too tight but I'm not clicking anymore google drive links.

    No method available to upload a picture

    Sorry. There’s no picture because there’s no button or any other industry standard method to upload a picture when viewing the site from my phone. Thus the sharing link from Google Drive.

    Air bag crash sensor. Look at where the other one is attached and find the hole in the similar area on that side and bolt it down.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the info. Unfortunately both sensors are not bolted down so I don’t have any idea where the go. I assume they attach to something solid on the front clip. If someone on the forum could snap a photo so I know where to start looking. The car was just purchased from a used car dealership by my girlfriend. I noticed the dangling sensors whilst she was showing me her inexpensive, rust free car.

    BTW, how does one post photos on posts?

    Airbag sensors attatch to the very top metal tie bar. One above the rad fan and the other on the other end. 10mm bolt holds them on. I had one come back from a bodyshop with the sensor dangling by the wires...
    I'll try to get a pic later for you.

    If using a phone, I use the desktop site. Then click on the picture icon then scroll around and find the browse and upload buttons.

    I think the one on the passenger side is the one the jabs the crap out of my left bicep area when I'm reaching down in there in my funky arm reaching method to grip the earl filter. If that helps with the location.

    Use your left arm to grabulate the earl filter ... approximately where your left bicep is positioned, up on that tie-bar where Fummins mentioned is the location.

    What Fummins said.

    Open the hood and look down at that bar. On the passenger side, that sensor is mounted below here...
