You should be glad the car didn’t ignite. Now you need to take it to someone who knows what they’re doing. ---

Air bags replacement should be left to a professional. If you are properly restrained in the seat and an air bag activates you will get hurt by the bag. The air bag will reduce the injury you would have from an accident but will still hurt you, a worthy trade off. If you are close to the air bag such as when you are replacing it and it deploys you will have a very very bad day. Leave it to the pros.
