do i need to replace my crash sensors?
Hi all,
i got into an accident last year and have been slowly putting my truck back together, there was a lot of damage to the front bumper and driver side fender but when i got all the body panels pulled off there was no mech. damage. the drivers airbag did deploy but from what i can see there is no damage to the actual sensors do i still need to replace and is there any way i can check before i plug in the airbag? (dont want to set it off and have to by another one).
I can take some pictures if it helps, also if you need to know the car runs fine and the a/c even worked after the crash! lucky for me the Taurus took the brunt of the damage.

Yeah, I would. They won't set off the airbag again if you reuse them but they won't set off the airbag again in the future and leave the airbag light on. I don't know for sure about Ford but I know for a fact on Dodges they send a signal to the airbag module and when they send the signal the airbag deploys but it will only send that signal once and it's toast.
