Nice job on the write-up. I may have to file that away for future use. That is the kind of tech I like to find when I do searches here.

If Indy only could channel his knowledge for good. Too bad his personality gets in the way.

Corral is no fun if you can't speak the language of a seasoned mechanic.

Hey everyone figured I would 100% confirm that the cruise control and the horn both function and the wheel rotates fully. I got the car together on thursday and took it for a drive, very happy with the results.

Anyone have any other part numbers? Dorman 525-201 seems to be unavailable everywhere.

About the only solution I know of anymore is a used one. I grabbed two, on from a 91 and one from a 92. Still on the original but figured I better have spares.

Also, you can get the airbag module refurbished here:

Subscribing, as I may end up going down this rabbit hole in the future. I've had a 10-blink airbag light going on in Black Jack, but it's been at the bottom of my priority list. I also have a non-GT (the non-leather, non-stitched, rubbery feeling style steering wheel that came in LXs & other ford models) So, my solution may just be to swap steering wheels and be done. My horn and cruise-control have worked just fine, though. So, the airbag may be due to another malfunction in the airbag circuit.

I'd put money on the airbag module. Most of them are aging out due to the capacitors in them just like the ECU's.

I believe they can be repaired as well. I've seen a couple online sources claiming they can repair them for a hefty fee.

been wanting to get my hands on a busted airbag module, but you know how things are. Everything is junk and going in the trash until someone finds out someone is looking for it. Then it's $150.

I got a couple old temp senders I'll sell for $20 plus shipping
The things I keep are stupid
If only I had some land to hide a few cars
Maybe we should start a thread called 'stupid sheet I've hung on too '

I would want it as I would want to try to repair it. Would be a little while before I get to it though. Need to tackle the 6k tach resistors first.

Problem is I don’t have an airbag car, so if I do manage a repair, someone else will need to test it. I have no problem sending it out to someone if they need a new module, on the premise that a) I can’t garantee the thing actually works in a crash
