LOCATION OF AIR BAG MODULE 2008 FORD EDGE

If you have an air bag light on the dash lit up, I strongly suggest taking it to the dealer. Tampering with these components could cause accidental air bag deployment. (expensive, bodily injury)

Under the center console, look for yellow connectors.

It is typically the job of the airbag module to sense when the vehicle is decelerating beyond the normal rate, and to deploy the airbags.
If the module has suffered excessive corrosion, then this would typically mean that there is water ingress into the interior compartment. Have you also checked the condition of the wiring connectors and looms?

most comon location is in the passenger kick panel
best of luck

Underneath the carpet under the center counsole

For the airbag light situation to be resolved you need the airbag code to be deciphered from a scantool that can read airbag codes,,If the alternator has low output it would turn on also the ABS light,If the car was flooded it is posible that the control module did short out its location in in the center bottom console

I was unable to locate code 31 in my book here is a copy of the codes. looks like you just need a fuse for #51. this may fix 31 as well.
