The module (RCM) cannot be reset except by a few companies specializing in the repair of them. Ford will not reset them. You're replacing the bags because of deployment, right? I've seen in 1 or 2 cases modules that did not have to be replaced after bag deployment. If you disconnect the ground cable to the battery, replace the bags, and repower them they will flash a code 1 9 on the dash panel indicator if the RCM is full of data and needs replacement. If not a 1 9 then post the code it does flash and we'll go from there.

NOTE: If the autolock is disabled, the horn will chirp once. If the autolock feature is enabled, the horn will chirp once shortly and then sound a second time with a longer sound of the horn once the above sequence is completed.
Within five seconds of Step 3, release the 7/8 button on the keypad.

Verify that the horn chirps. There should be one chirp indicating that autolock/relock feature has been disabled. If one chirp is heard, followed by a longer sound of the horn, the autolock/relock feature has just been enabled.
Turn the key to the OFF position or wait 2 minutes to exit the enable/disable mode.
Verify that the horn chirps once to indicate that a feature has been changed and that autolock/relock has been toggled.
