"The SRS (supplamental restraint system) contains two sensors which are integral to the RCM (restraints control module). The RCM is mounted on the center tunnel under the instrument panel."

Page 501-20B-3 in my Helm Guide.

Don't tell me you crashed!

 

[bassin247]

"The RCM signals the inflators to deploy the air bags in the event of a deployable crash." I'm guessing it has some type of inertia switch that trips in the event of a crash.

Yes they have to be replaced after firing.

no, no, no...didn't crash

need to replace just the sensors....long story, don't ask.! lol.

but WHERE are the sensors??? what do they look like? do i replace them once they've gone off..

the ford DVD talks about some J weld nuts....WHAT!?!?! hehehe

thanks bassin....

 

[maoun]

wait, i just re-read what you wrote....so the sensors are INSIDE the RCM??? hm....not sure if i believe that.....really!?!? ford making an inertia sensor in a cobra.....hm....

 

[bassin247]

There is an inertia switch that shuts off the fuel pumps on impact.

looks like bassin is right, once again....what a pimp

"NOTE: The safing sensor is internal to the RCM and is not repaired separately. "

 

[maoun]

that's a separate inertia switch.....in the back....and that's a cheapy.... lol...
