My son wrecked his 2003 Ranger and we got it all back together and he's been driving it for a couple months now. I had replaced the air bags (pick-n-pull) but the dash light flashed a 19 code. I installed a used air bag control module (pick-n-pull) and it started flashing a 29 code, plus the headlights stopped working. I think the 29 means that the module is the wrong year, so I installed the old module and it flashes a 19 code again but the headlights still won't work. I checked all the fuses. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like code 19 means the module needs to be replaced, cannot be reset.
Code 29 indicates that the module thinks it's not the correct one for the vehicle.

Not sure why the headlights won't work, that's odd.
