The front airbags on my wife's 2001 Explorer Sport were replaced after my wife tapped a wall at 5mph. Anyway, I took it to a body shop instead of the dealer to cut cost since I was going to pay out of pocket and not involve the insurance company. The believe airbag light is flashing 36, but I'll have to check later today. The shop couldn't clear the code so I had an airbag service company with the proper diagnostic tools to take a look. They determined that there was a problem with the side airbag in the driver's seat. The technician was able to clear the code when the side airbag was not part of the diagnostic (He clamped it off or something). I suspect that the wrong airbag computer/diagnostic unit was installed, one that was for an Explorer without side airbags. I recall the body shop asking if the Explorer had side bags at one point in time. Does anyone know the part number for the airbag computer/diagnostic unit and how to check what was installed on my vehicle.
Thanks in advance.
