Ya know, I've been posting here for a little while, and find these forums to be extremely helpful when working on my 66 coupe. Needless to say, I also have a 96 explorer and 99 PSD F250. Can't seem to get any input at any of the other forums. (Goes to prove just how valuable and friendly this forum is.)

Got an airbag display on my dash of the 96 explorer. Isolated down to the clock spring in the steering column. Replaced the spring, and still have the same alarm code. I've isolated it to either a defective part from the dealer (open box) or wiring issue at the connector. Need the internal wiring diagram for the 96 ford explorer, California, so I can check the resistance through the sys. I believe the threshold is 3.5 ohms on pin 2 and 6 (?), but I'm guessing. Need the color code for the feed and return wires to the airbag to check the sys. Also there's an ECM to pull the DTCs for the airbag and clear hard codes but don't know where it is. It's not the normal OBD port. Glove box? Anyone here have access to ford information?

 

i think i can pull something up from school for you and scan it for you, your obd port will be under the driverside dash near the steering colum i believe the 96 is obd 2, but that you would have to take to a dealer
