Airbag swap 98-00 to 01-03
I have done some searching on here and google, but I can't find a definite answer. I want to swap the 98-00 airbag/airbag cover that doesn't have the ford logo on it with the one from 01-03 that does have the ford logo on the cover. I know it will fit with no problems but I have read that the airbag light stays on due to wiring. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix that? Any help is appreciated

Could always go the cheaper route of finding a deployed bag truck.......and taking the logo itself off and apply to your existing one. Would certainly be alot cheaper if you don't already need a bag.
I actually kept my bag cover with the logo on it just in case I ever got around to another older project truck.

good luck getting those emblems back on. they have 4 prongs that go through the cover and need to be bent over. i took mine off when i wrapped my bag in suede. had a hell of a time getting it back on. bent the one up pretty bad. ended up getting a couple new ones off ebay.
Deals like that are very few and very far between. I wanna say I paid $40 at my local new-car junkyard. And that was a good guy price from my hook-up.

Thanks for all the quick responses guys. I appreciate everyones input. Im just afraid to spend $50 on one (thats how much a jy near me is wanting) and have my airbag not work afterwards haha
Really? You had no issues with the airbag light coming on or anything?
I thought about that but I want it to look stock. The stock ones have a little indentation for the logo to sit in. Good idea though, I did think about that lol.
Did the wiring/plug change anywhere from the 01-03 airbag? For example, will an 01 airbag be plug n play and an 03 airbag have different wiring or was it all the same 01-03? Hope I wasn't too confusing lol

I got mine from an '01. It's plug and play. No check lights or anything. Got mine for $40 from the junkyard.
