2013 Ford Focus knee airbag replacement?
I bought a salvage rebuildable car from copart auto action that was in a minor crash resulting in minimal front end damage and the drivers knee airbag to go off. I put in a airbag that hasn't gone off but now I'm stuck on what to do. Do the impact sensors need to be replaced along with the module? Or does the module just need to be reset or flashed
Never buy a car with blown air bags. See a mechanic. Air bag maintenance/repair is not for amateurs.
That depends on what the manufacturers say. Some recommend replacing the sensors since they may have been damaged, others say the sensors will reset and can be re-used. Personally I'd replace them to be on the safe side. It is NOT recommended to try testing the airbag circuity with a multimeter and probe, since that may cause the airbag to go off.
If you're going to be working on the airbag electrics be very sure that the battery is disconnected. A mechanic I know insists on turning the headlights on after disconnecting the battery to dissipate any charge there may be left in the vehicle systems and going away for 10 minutes before starting work. Whether that's necessary or not I'm not sure but it certainly won't do any harm.
When air bags deploy you need to replace the air bags, the SRS control module and the seat belts.
Yes, the sensors should h ave been replaced.
- How to fix 2004 Ford Taurus sel airbag light? I have a 2004 ford taurus sel that I got from a lady who got it from a guy that bought it from the auction. So the car has some minor wear and tear but it does drive. It does have a 44 on the battery, so i don't know if thats the problem like if its weak because it dies after charging it. But what I also need to know is how to get rid of the solid yellow (non blinking) airbag light.
- How to fix this airbag code on my car? As the title says, I have a 2006 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with the 3-3 (33) airbag code. From what I have found and researched on forums, it seems to be the drivers seat pretensioner. Does anyone have experience with this type of code and how to fix it? It's driving me nuts as the car beeps 5 times for a number of times and eventually stops. I want to get it fixed so my airbag system isn't disabled because of this.

- I have a 2013 Ford Fusion, I just purchased warranty replacement tires on the car in December. The car is worse in the rain now than before? The tires only have 3,000-4,000 miles, but they are hydroplaning worse that the previous bald tires. They are not off brand tires, but Michelin's. Would like to know if there's anything that can be done.
