Ok so now that my airbag went off due to some idiot touching the stupid wires he shouldnt have been touching, I need a whole new airbag assembly thing now right? like since it hasnt actually been in an accident, it can't somehow be used again can it? (I realize I wouldn't be able to do anything with it my self but say instead of having to get a whole new one?) I'm just asking. LOL

I'm very sorry to say this but yes you need a new air bag assembly,They are made to be used once and only once.
once the air bag is replaced the "SRS computer" needs to be reset, and that takes a bit of knowledge and the right equipment (scanner) but a local shop shop or delership should be able to reset that for you,otherwise you will be driving arround with the air bag light on and no SRS (air bags)

No, airbags cannot be used again. It has to be replaced with a new one (or one out of a used car that hasent been deployed)

Sorry. Once an air bag is deployed, it must be replaced.

Throw it away, and buy a NEW one.
NEVER trust used safety equipment designed to save your life.
