Default Front impact sensors?

Where the hell are they? I know the side ones are in the front doors but can't put my hands on the front ones.

HELP!

I could be wrong, but if you want to put your hands on them, you have to buy a Ram or GM product.

LOL.

OK, I already have a 2016 Platinum 150 so no need to go rogue and get a Dodge. I replaced the front parts and never saw the sensors. Now I am trying to get rid of the airbag light and my computer says that the front 2 sensors are no good (0 ohms) Most sensors are located in the bumper but I didn't see any when I replaced the bumper.

So you do have sensors? As in it beeps when you close to something? Or are you talking about the radar for ACC?

Neither. The one's I'm referring to are the ones that tell the airbags to blow. The crash or impact sensors.

Crash or impact sensors are usually around the bumper or radiator core support.

The restraint module monitors the g forces, yaw and roll the vehicle is subject to. When the module detects high forces that exceeds certain parameters it fires the appropriate airbag. There are no impact sensors.
