To reset the airbag light in a Ford Explorer, you need to address and repair the underlying issue that triggered it. There can be various causes for the light to come on, one of which could be a malfunctioning airbag module, which acts as the computer monitoring the airbag sensors. If the module detects a problem with any of the sensors in the front and rear bumpers, seatbelts, or doors, the dashboard light will signal it. It's possible that a loose electrical connector or damaged pin could be the culprit. The cost to replace a faulty module is approximately $180. Before reaching for your wallet, check the fuse block located behind the glovebox to look for any blown fuses related to the airbags. If you find a defective fuse, replacing it and then cycling the ignition off to accessory, back to off, and then starting the engine should make the light disappear in under 10 seconds.
