Escort Air Bag modules - Jonathan
Hi

i have just spend most of this evening helping a friend of mine to source the problem of his airbag light. The light stays on. he has borrowed a diagnostic thingy (little red stick) from the local ford dealership, which revealed that there was not a problem with the abu.

He has sourced it the the module (the little grey metal unit behind the dash, with a green sticker).

He wants to know a) how much is a new one, and b) could he get one from a scrapyard and if so, would a front ender be of no use, as he thinks the module would have served its purpose and be a permanant ON, so the air bag would immediately deploy when the ignition is switched.

Any advise would be appreciated (apart from ask fords for a new one, he will be doing that tomorrow).

Jonathan

Don't, repeat, don't fit secondhand airbag parts.

It's just not worth the risk.
