1994 Mark VIII, 92k
with my original module, I was flashing airbag error code 35
" Passenger side AirBag circuit Low resistance or shorted."
-----
put in a different airbag module from a '94 mark VIII (not wrecked but not known to be good) and I immediately got code 51
-Air bag diagnostic monitor internal thermal fuse-fuse blown due to intermittent short to ground"
---
my bad luck? two bad modules? or is there something else going on?
----
this car's never been wrecked, the 35 just popped up a few months ago...I checked the connection at the crash sensor by the grill, the a plastic connector a few feet away, which I cleaned and reconnected...no change
----
also probably not unrelated, I recently replaced a bad air ride module right next to the airbag module...possible leaking water at the fresh air intake at cowl grille?
