The front collision sensor on the 2004-2005 ford f150's are not working. I was at a dealership in vermilion ohio and the dealership stated that they have had several trucks come in where the front collision sensors have gone bad, probably from water getting into the sensors and freezing which in turn has cracked the sensor. Now my airbag switch stays on all the time. *tr
