1 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 10/20/2018

Premature airbag deployment I was jumping the Acadia from our 2012 Ford fusion due to a no start - no crank issue. The Acadia's battery was completely discharged, so I placed jumper cables onto the positive end from the fuse box and the ground terminal. The Acadia's horn worked, indicating electrical power, so I tried to crank it but it did not crank. I turned the ignition key to the off position and sat in the driver's seat for less than a minute before the driver airbag suddenly deployed. The passenger airbag did not deploy. Before this happened, the Acadia's alternator was replaced back in July or August. The car drove fine for about a month before the charging system failed and the car would not start again. The car sat in the yard for about a month before I tried to jump it off the first time. The car did start, but it died about 5 minutes later. The car sat in the yard for week before I tried to start it again. This is when the airbag deployed. One more thing: the Acadia leaked from the sunroof, and the inside of the car was wet. I don't know if this could have caused an issue with the electronics. Attached are pictures after the airbag deployed.
