I think what you are seeing is an airbag readiness light. Here is what the owners manual says about it:
Air bag readiness Momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the RUN position. If the light fails to illuminate, continues to flash or remains on, have the system serviced immediately Here is the link to download the owners manual for your car. http://www.motorcraftservice.com/pubs/content/~WO1204/~MUS~LEN/34/01204og5e.pdf
The crash sensors are located inside the computer the accelarometer would of been replaced if the computer was replaced. Or the air bag control modual. The clock spring would need to be replaced but the front magnetic sensors should be fine, they don't normally wear out. they can be damaged but the air bag warning light would flash if it was bad. And the air bag would still not go off unless the other condtions are met to make the bag deploy. The air control modual would have been replaced if it was done by a shop that is part of the service when the bags deploy. The crash sensors are a magnet with a steel ball and when the right speed is reached and the ball is let go from the metal o ring that it sits in it will deploy the first trigger the next trigger would be the acelorometer in the air control module and the impact would have to be strong enought to knock that ball loose as well to trigger the air bag.
double check your on off control for passenger side air bag. if not that simple, get to the dealership. air bag control can be dangerous if deployed for no reason.
A handful of newer vehicles have sensors in the seat where you have to weigh so much in order for the airbag to work (light on the dash will tell you if it's off) or they have a spot for the ignition key in the dash so you can manually turn it off.. my next guess would be to either have them sit in the back or pull the fuse
