Someone heavy enough has to sit in the seat. The seat cushion has something called an occupant clssification sensor built in. The has to be occupied by a passenger, who is heavy enough before the air bag will activate. I believe the weight threshold is 60 lbs, but I am not 100% sure about the weight. The reason is that, Ford does not want a child to get killed or seriously hurt by the airbag. If the airbag deploys, a child would be at the right height to get their neck broken. The secondary reason, is reduced insurance repair cost. If there is nobody in the seat, why blow off a $500.00 airbag? So, with the key on, put an adult in the seat and wait a couple of seconds. If the airbag still does not activate, then there is a problem.
