Just did this and...it didn't work!
I just tried this. The original thermal fuse showed resistance similar to the new one, so I was doubtful it would work.
So I decided to replace it anyway. I was very careful not to allow the new thermal fuse to get even warm to the touch. Soldered it up, checked the resistance across the fuse from the next connection in the circuit on each end, good to go.
Plugged it in...turned the key...andmy email address is NOT working!

Thanks for this write-up. I got the code 51 after replacing the distibutor and charging the battery (do not know why this caused it to happened), anyway with this write up and excellent pics I got rid of the code. When I first saw the circuit board it looked different due to that "cover" over the thermal fuse but removing that I got to the fuse. Perhaps you should include the pic with the cover over the fuse on the first post.

Got a code 51 driving home last night
so this thread was a real timesaver. Two questions: is the fuse actually touching the resistor? ( Haven't pulled the box yet since I don't have the parts yet) Second, what is the routing and location to the sensor(s) I need to check before fixing the fuse. Thanks for the help.Last edited by 95FordProbe; January 29, 2012, 06:14 PM.'95 PGT purchased new.

Thete is 4 sensors total 1 at drivers side front 1 on the hood latch support 1 on pass front and the main one under the dash you have to pull the whole a/c heater box out to get to and the wires for the pass side sensor and airbag run behind there as well, i know this because i just pulled all of them off today and yesterday from the parts car95 PGT white dd klze / mtx fidanza,maf swapped obx headers 2 1/2" mandrel bent 14.3 sec 1/4mile time

Air bag control module
I have been reading your picture instructions with great interest ob replacing the thermal fuse on a ABCM. I have no doubt that I can replace that fuse since in a former life I owned a TV repair shop.
The thing that I am having trouble with is I can not find my ABCM on my 2004 F150 that has a column shift. I have looked for it everyplace I can see under the steering column. Do you have any ideas? Thanks a lot, Bill

I did it too, and the code went out for a glorious couple of minutes... Now I have a code 13, any suggestions.1994 Ford Probe GT Rio Red MTX "Christine"
