Re: 2000 ford windstar airbag code 36

Had the same code when I bought my 2000, connectors under seat were neatly plugged, but no continuity. Followed wires to fuse box where I noticed that not only was fuse missing, but the socket only had ground connector pin. Turns out previous owner had retrofitted van with leather power seats taken from an SEL ( when I first bought the van I had thought it odd to have those seats in an LX) but had neglected to run power for the side airbags which are contained in those seats. Guess he wanted to avoid creating yet another potential source of electrical issues.
