found that on both the contour and mustang that relates to LH primary crash
sensor improperly mounted...
Disconnect battery for half hour, then locate both sensor mounting points,
remove and clean mounting points, use dielectric grease to forestall future
corrosion and re-fasten securely. Handle carefully of course.

yes it looks like it , it is behind the rad and there is a big spot of rust bulging out , but is
there a after market part that i can buy instead of the Ford one , because here i called Ford and
they are selling it for 180 $ , it is a bit expensive , for a small cubic box , is there a place on
the web that i can order it a a cheaper price

like backyard said, remove it, clean the mounting points, and
re-install. The code is for a bad ground, not a bad sensor. FWIW, my
Taurus had the exact same code. All it took was removing the sensor and
its bracket then re-installing. >> Stay informed about: escort air bag light flashing |
