SOURCE: airbag passenger side

44 - Right Hand Radiator Primary Crash Sensor Not Mounted to Vehicle Properly.

When the Airbag light is blinking, your airbag is disabled and many insurance companies now do a diagnostics on any failed safety equipment in injury accidents....they will not pay 100% percent if there is owner's negligence to maintain vehicle safety equipment. I am still looking into possible causes for this error. I will post any updates as warranted.

SOURCE: Ford Focus 2006 model airbag deactivation

Children in car seats should never be put in the front seat.  In fact children under the age of 13 should never be in the front seat.  Their bodies are not large enough or strong enough to sustain the impact of a crash or an airbag.  For your baby's safety and your peace of mind it'd be best for you to keep your baby in the rear seat and get a mirror for the back seat to see what's going on.

SOURCE: can i switch of the passenger airbag in my 2003 ford focus?

The passenger airbag is what is called a smart generation airbag, there is a sensor in the passenger seat that tells the airbag control module to turn off the bag if the weight is less than 50 pounds in the paswsenger seat, i.e. a child, I work for Ford and we will not turn off or tamper with or disconnect the airbag, why? if you get in a wreck and are hurt because we disconnected or otherwise defeated the airbag we would be liable for damages and a lawsuit.

SOURCE: how do i turn off my passenger airbag

You need to leave this one to the dealer as there is no key switch in this model like most GMs have. It is very dangerous working with the airbag system if you are not trained as the propellants used border on being explosive.

Beyond this, it is still a bad idea to put the baby in front unless absolutely necessary as the rear seat provides better protection.

How to replace2001 ford focus passenger side impact sensor

Open the hood. Remove the plastic cover that goes from the frame to the plastic bumper. Look down on the passenger side and you will see the sensor you're looking for. It is riveted to the frame. drill them out. replace the sensor. But this will NOT solve your problem. Airbag systems are really complicated, they keep them this way to cost you tons of money. Newer ones cost thousands just for parts..Labor is rediculase....

Where is the location of front crash sensor in a 2008 ford focus?

The crash sensors should be mounted off the front horn of the frame ( on either side). The sensors will be leads and wires that go back to the "black box" located under the body towards the front firewall. This is where the information us processed and sent to the airbag deployment system and allows for for fuel delivery shutoff.

2011 ford fiesta air bag sensor location

Front crash sensors are behind the front bumper cover, side sensors (if equipped) are at the lower side of the "B" pillars. I have yet to see one "go bad" without an impact (single use sensors and must be replaced after an accident)..

Airbags

If your Focus is a new model the passenger side airbag has a sensor that in effect weighs what is in the passenger seat, and will turn itself off if the weight is below a min, you will see an indicator lite up on the dash indicating this. If your Focus does not have this smart system then I recomment that you not tamper in any way with the passive restraint air bag system, to do so could cause grave personnel injury. Consault your local Ford dealer over the phone they will help.
