Focus mk1.5 Impact sensor
Can anybody help me out with the location of the impact sensor in the mk1.5 focus.
My airbag light is on and giving a code of 42 which is front impact sensor mounting fault.
I thought the sensor was below the front badge/lock, but no sign of it.
Thanks
Matt

This might be it.
Bit late to answer I think... But Yes, I found the sensor and replaced it. All fine now, no blinking lights.
It's indeed at the underside of the front slam-panel. Only 1 bolt holding it in place and I managed to get it out without removing the radiator or anything else!
If you still have to do this: good luck, it only a couple of minutes. Oh, I disconnected the battery and waited som 15 minutes before I started.
Regards,

As far as i am aware it is under the front slam panel, under the plastic trim. I have this job to do also on a 2003 mk1.5 focus. Again i haven't got round to it yet. Did you manage to gain any more information?
Thanks
