is number 5 the airbag sensor. I was told I just need to clean the contacts on that. Where exactly is it located. I didn't see it on the lower radiator supports as peopel here mentioned it was supposed to be

#5 is the front airbag sensor. If I'm not mistaken, it's mounted behind the grille on the header panel or on the hood latch support.

I apologize, it is number #1 , not #5. I should've written it down"To Find yourself, you must first lose yourself"

#1 in the illustration I posted is the driver's airbag module. That's the bomb strapped to your steering wheel.

Ok, if it is in fact saying number 1 has high resistance (meaning corrosion or needs to be cleaned up), how woul dyou approach this situation???"To Find yourself, you must first lose yourself"

Okay, lemme back up... I think I was confused. When you said number 1, I thought you were referring to the illustration, not the code. High resistance at sensor number one would most likely be the part in the illustration labeled #5. The Front Airbag Sensor. With the hood open, remove the sight shield above the headlamps and hood latch. With the sight shield out of the way, you should be able to access the 10mm speed nuts that hold the grille to the header panel. Remove the grille and locate the airbag sensor. There is usually a yellow loom or tape or shrink wrap on the wiring to indicate it is SRS wiring. The sensor is going to be above the horizontal height of the front bumper, and behind the front bumper reinforcement. Like I said, probably mounted on the hood latch support if not directly on the header panel. Once you've located it, follow the steps above. Disconnect the battery, wait an hour or so, then disconnect and clean the sensor and reverse the steps.

Gotcha, sounds a litte harder then I thought, but in the time it take me to get to that area the electrical system should be drained by then"To Find yourself, you must first lose yourself"

Ok, so now that I bought a service manual and looked up why the airbag light lights up a 41 code, I found out that the 41 code is the right side crash sensor has an open circuit, so I guess I still need to take off the header panel under the hood and investigate
Mind you this airbag light did not trip off the code scanner"To Find yourself, you must first lose yourself"

Code scanner won't read the airbag codes. That's why it blinks at you.

Ok, so, I know this has been a while, so I am going to do it now, I unplugged by batteries for the night and will take off the header panel (black piece) that covers the headlights from above to be able to get into and fix the sensor for the airbag light.
HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT FOR THE CURRENT TO DRAW DOWN SO THAT I DON'T MISTAKENLY TRIP OFF THE AIR BAG????? I know some guys here say to hit the brake pedal so it bleeds out the current"To Find yourself, you must first lose yourself"

Update!!!
So...
After taking the header panel off, I looked on the passenger side to find the sensor and I found it, but I found out the wires going to the harness are all chewed up.
Think I found my problem. I was thinking of splicing wires to connect them, but I don't know if I have enough wire left.
I am guessing any aero panther has the same harness that I can pull it off of.
Say does anyone have one of these laying around, lol!"To Find yourself, you must first lose yourself"
