Air Bag
Since I just got this car, I decided to check whether the air bag system still works. Removed the steering wheel cover and fount the airbag intact. However after inspecting the instrument cluster, I found that the previous owner had removed the bulb for the airbag warning light. After replacing the bulb and starting the car it started blinking (around 6 times) and then stayed on. I searched the forums and found that some of the sensors could be bad, but I could locate only one of those sensors. The one I found is almost exactly in the middle of the car. It is a black rectangular box with an arrow pointing to the driving direction and a bright yellow connector on top. I tried to search for the front two sensors but could not locate any. Any pointers to where I should look are welcome. I would also like to know, where the airbag control module is hiding.
A little off topic, but I also found a weird plastic tank in front of my radiator. It is not connected to anywhere, but it has a electrical connector dangling next to it. The tank appears to have a built-in pump. It has a large open pipe, which can be seen through the grille and a smaller hose coming out of the bottom.

Well, I guess it is I ask, I answer time. Managed to find the front airbag sensors. Mine are directly under the radiator. The reason why I could not find them is, that I have some sort of metal protection plates underneath and they were obscuring my view. One of the sensors seems to have been moved, because the oil filter is too long. It also means that I could only check the passenger side sensor. It read about 8kOhm of resistance. So I guess that one is fine. Have yet to check the other one.
About the white tank: It has a pump, but it is not connected to anywhere, but it has the pump connector next to it.
