I am trying to find the module for the side air bags and every place that I look says something different. Can anyone give me the actual location of this module?
 






What "module" do you speak of? Ford uses that term loosely sometimes.
I'm sending you some info.
 






Found It

Thanks a lot, The module I was looking for is the Restraint Control Module (RCM). To find it I removed the cup holder section of the center console, remove the four bolts connecting the center console, two connect the dash to the console at the front and two connect the console to the drive shaft tunnel. Now the only thing holding the center console in are two wedges at the rear. Go to the back seat and pull the center console back as hard as you can. It may come out, I say may because the wedges are vary tight. You may have to dismantle the center box and climate controls for the back and tap it back with a hammer. Once it is about 10" back you will see the RCM at the front on the drive shaft tunnel just below the radio, just remove the three bolts and your done. Reverse the process to reinstall.
