Ford Airbag Diagnostic Monitor repair

WARNING: working on airbag systems is inherently dangerous. This video is for entertainment purposes only.
Should you choose to do anything depicted in the video i cannot be held responsible for anything that may happen. I no longer recommend this repair, Replacement of the ADM module is quicker, easier, and safer.

Applies to 1994-1996 broncos and f150s.

The ADM Module used on OBS fords has an internal thermal fuse which is tied to a resistor. When certain faults are detected the module will heat up the resistor causing the fuse to open and set a code. This module is setting a code 51- Internal thermal fuse blown due to intermittent short to ground.This code indicates that a short to ground was detected and the module blew the fuse for safety. In this situation the short must first be repaired or the problem with occur again. In this case no shorts were found. The cause was/is suspected to have been a failed clockspring that had previously been repaired. This is supported by the fact that after the ADM was repaired this code never reappeared.
