I have a 2007 pathfinder. My drivers side airbag deployed, can I cut it off or is it reusable?
could you cut it off yes but when its time to trade/sell it then you must get it fixed and god forbid if you don’t replace it and have another accident with passenger in the front seat and they have injuries guess what your expense’s are going to be cause the insurance company won’t pay there’s a reason they use both the seat belt and the bag

one use on airbags.
why did only the driver side deploy?
References :
It is not reusable. It is also not safe to ignore it, something made it deploy. Have a service check of the vehicle.

There are specific items that are required replacement items when a deployment occurs or when an airbag light comes on…and there are some items that are "check only". Check out the websites below for the EXACT answers to your questions including fault code charts and reset information. This site tells you exactly what needs to be replaced and how to access them (seat belts & all) on over 3500 cars. It’s a pay site ($14.95 / day), but it’s little money well spent to get the correct answers and to see exactly what you’re after…it uses pictures, not text, so you can see what you’re looking for.
This is the same website insurance companies and body shops use to determine what needs to be replaced.
Good Luck…it’s not too bad of a job & if your state allows it, used parts or parts from ebay should be ok
Also, there’s a page in this site that tells you which cars need a scan tool to reset the system and which ones can be done without it.
