Before purchasing this vehicle that has a rebuilt title and the airbag light was illuminated, i had a diagnostic test performed by my local ford service dept. everything checked out fine with the exception of replacing the air bag. after the air bag was replaced (~$1000 later), they proceed to tell me that the airbag light is still on and the sensors need to be replaced and it will cost us another $2000. if this was known at the time of the diagnostic, we would have never made this purchase.
