What Are These Things?

[Herb Butler]

On my 97 GT there are two cubical devices mounted on each side of the hood latch. The plastic cover has to be removed to see them. They are mounted on supports which are mounted on the same frame as the latch assembly. Each has wiring and connectors. What are they? I can't find any info in my Chilton or the All Data site. Just curious but a helpful reply would be nice.

I am not looking at my car and never took notice, but perhaps anti-theft related?

Impact sensors?

Can you snap a pic and post it so we can see what you are looking at?

I took one off (battery disconnected) and read the part number F52B-14B004-A8 and went to the local Ford dealership parts counter. They are Airbag Impact Sensors.
