Air bag sensor question

[AftonJay]

So I was getting the code 42 and pulled the impact sensor, the one male terminal actually was still in the female terminal when I unplugged the connector. Both females are in rough shape and I am going to replace them but like a dummy I pulled them out of the connector and in my sleep deprived state I forgot to mark which went where. Can anyone tell me which wire goes on which side of the female connector in relation to the lock mechanism on the connector?

What year is the expy

Sorry, I put it in when I signed up so I thought it would be over there on the side.

Anyways it is a 2005 Eddie Bauer

If you hold the connector so you are looking into it with the tab facing up The PK/OG wire is on the left and the VT/LG wire is on the right. I also believe that connector is the sane as the door ajar connector and you can get a replacement from rockauto.

I just had to replace the sensor on my 04 was about $75.00 on e-bay

They are prone to have the connectors corrode and then the pins break off

You have to make a signature line and include your year information as you can see on mine

Perfect thanks. Yeah I just ordered the sensor, as for the connector I actually work at the factory that makes the female terminals (a little embarrassed that I made such a dumb mistake by not marking the wires) so I have no problem replacing the terminals. I will just crimp a couple of new terminals on the wire and reuse the plastic connector, or I may have one at work.

C177 is the sensor connector/ wires

If you do your own work you should consider the Ford Service Manual on DVD I do sell them

Thanks, I will keep that in mind. I do all my own work but this issue and the FPDM last week are the first things I have had to do to this thing.
