I have a scan of the B14 manual (into a PDF) I can send.  The 
"restraint systems" chapter is a little over a meg'.  Can send you a 
copy, or post on web;  lemme know.

I think your other part is a "safing sensor" (was in B13 speak 
anyway) somewhere on the center console / tunnel.  I don't know about 
the "replace everything" practice.  I suspect it's just a 
cover-your-ass the repair shops use.  I can't believe the parts "die" 
from one use.
