Default 2007 xlt 4.6 airbag code 33

2007 4.6 xlt.

I got an airbag light code 33.

Is this driver side or passenger side pretensioner?

Ive read numerous different answers for this in other posts.

Use a 2007 Ford service manual (not google)
For some codes a quick google search is good enough
For instance, here is some info out of an older PCED just so you know this

Im aware that many models carry the same code index. That wasnt my question though, and figured that coming here where I was sure possibly one other person in the member list may have had this code would be able to tell me which side it was referring to. If need be, I'll simply just call ford and have them tell me. Not all service manuals are created equal though, and not all manuals even have trouble codes listed in them.

You can go to the library and look up the correct diagnosis for the code 33
The Ford manuals and the info at the library on AllData has the same exact correct info
Ford is liable to make you take it in and charge you 200 bucks

I had the same code on my 2004 and determined 5 possibilities during my research. It ended up being the passenger side seatbelt pretensioner. I went to a couple junkyards and first bought a crash sensor and clock spring, then the driver and passenger seatbelt pretensioners. The other possible culprit could be the passenger seat airbag lightbulb at the top of the dashboard, but mine was working.
