I could be wrong! but if I recall there are is an airbag sensor (at least a connection) under the passenger kick board I had to remove when I replaced my heater core. I had to remove the airbag from the dash before removing the dash.

The module does ground at its mounting point but, code 27 has only to do with the pad switch not the module ground.

Very common discussion here. SEARCH for "RADIO SHACK BULB" to find previous discussions including part number. About $2 if you can solder.
Don't waste your time on the other stuff you've stumbled into, it's a dead end.

However, I am fairly certain that my P.A.D. switch does light up briefly when the truck is started. So, what else could be the cause of the code 27? I have read about loose wiring, could this be somewhere under the seat / passenger kick panel?
Thanks.
