Default airbag sensor location

great site you guys have here! I am having trouble locating the airbag sensors on my 98, I'm looking for one around the pass side frame rail but am not finding anything, are they behind the bumper cover?

From what I know, it (singular) is located on the bumper reinforcement behind the bumper cover. This is only true of '97s and '98s.

There were changes in '99 and it (crash detection function) was incorporated into the SDM located inside the car beneath the radio.

Look directly below the passengers head ligh module. It's on the BACK of the front frame header bar next to the head light control module.
