You're unlikely to find a dedicated "airbag fuse" in the standard under-hood or interior fuse panels. Instead, the system's power may be controlled through:
* Direct wiring: The airbag system might have its power routed directly from the battery, possibly with an inline fuse hidden within the wiring harness. This is often difficult to access without significant disassembly.
* Integrated within the airbag control module (ACM): The ACM itself may contain internal fuses or protection devices. Accessing these would require specialized tools and knowledge. Replacing the ACM is generally the approach taken for problems with this part.
Therefore, attempting to locate the airbag fuse yourself is not recommended. Working with the airbag system is dangerous due to the risk of accidental deployment and injury. Improper handling can also cause deployment at an inopportune time, leading to harm.
To address any airbag system issues (warning lights, deployment problems), you should:
* Consult your owner's manual: While it may not explicitly show the fuse location, it might provide information about the system's components or direct you to an authorized Ford dealer.
* Visit a qualified mechanic or Ford dealership: A professional mechanic has the knowledge, tools, and safety precautions necessary to diagnose and repair problems in the airbag system. They can properly test the system and identify any faulty components.
Do not attempt to repair or diagnose the airbag system yourself unless you are a trained professional. Your safety is paramount.
