so you had a faulty airbag sensor.... happens. its not like your vehicle is riddled with electrical gremlins is it?
I don't have an issue with modern electronics. ... with increase capabilities comes increases in parts that may fail. MY issue is when the OEMs limit the owners capabilities to troubleshoot and repair on our own..... now that's a problem.
True electronics make for more capabilities, but -
My dad has a 1963 Manx Dune Buggy (volkswagon engine converted into fiberglass body) that we have taken all over. It has had many failures, including several electrical. Every single one of significance we were able to repair on the trail, sometimes just a length of wire. No specialty tools required. In one case, I was even able to ride leaning over the back and watch the points open and close to troubleshoot.
Every Jeep failure I have had so far (luckily none that have stranded me) has been impossible to fix on the trail and has just been a limp out without causing any more damage than I already have.
The best things in life can not be found on a map; they can only be found while Wandering.
