Rear Airbag Sensor

I have a bad rear airbag sensor that I was quoted $450 to replace and I'd rather try to DIY that one. I have not found any threads as to the location of the right rear sensor. Any help would be helpful!

Thanks

To add to the post above there was no airbag deployment. The rear impact sensor according the the tech is bad. I just need the location of the part so I can replace it. It's a $40 part, not sure how they can get $450 for that considering he already found it and tested the connection.

I found and replaced the rear impact senor. I found the location of the parts by tracing down from the rear curtain airbag and it's located under the interior molding where the rear door meets the frame of the car. It is directly next to the sensor that detects if the door is ajar under the molding. I needed a #30 star 1/4 inch drive to remove the screws, otherwise it was a very straight forward repair, make sure you disconnect the battery. Still a little dismayed that Acura wanted $442 (to start) to repair this sensor. It took me 25 minutes to get it done and the hard part is replacing the molding correctly. Below are some pictures of the part.
