I have a 2000 ford focus hatch back, that was in an accident, and the air bags were deployed. I am wondering where to locate the sensors that send the signal to set off the airbags, also I am wondering if those sensors are able to be reset or if they are a one time use only. There was no serious damage to the front end of the car. If some one can help me with this, thank you.

One time use, replace the sensors, usually located right near the licence plate area behind the bumper cover.
