Air bag light flashing. Need help.

[ponie1992]

Alright guys, my airbag light is flashing and I wanna see if anyone knows why. It flashes twice then pauses then flasshes twice again. Then a long pause and the flashing starts again. Any ideas?

[zupaspunk]

Mine always does that.. check engine light on 24/7 too. lol i just got used to it

[Notch93]

Code 22 maybe. Safing sensor shorted or stuck closed. You can read more about the airbag system here.

That gives me an idea of what might be wrong, but I have no idea how to fix that. I can't afford to take it anywhere right now to get it properly diagnosed. I may try disconnecting the battery for 20 mins or so to see if that will clear it. Thanks for everyone's help.

When I get back to work on Monday I'll ask one of the techs there what pinpoint test F is for the code 22 and I'll get back to you on it.

Safing sensor....that is located in the airbag diagnostic unit......if that is the problem then you would have to replace the airbag diagnostic processor to eliminate the code....I'll ask monday on that

Dude, that would be really cool. I greatly appreciate it.

mine is flashing and beeping. i just want the sound gone. is the blue box behind the radio the location??

[htrdmstng]

In my Fox I pulled out everything. Put in a Momo with a quick coupler. My SN95 I unplugged the air bags and module and had to pull the light out of the dash. After my accident I refuse to own a car with functional air bags.

[jboren93]

yep air bag module...leave it flashing . i refuse to have a car with working airbags they are more harmful than helpful in my experiences:yes1::thumbsup1:

Well, disconnecting the battery for an extended period of time did not do anything. Still flashing, but don't really wanna mess with it. I just don't want it going off for no reason.

If the airbag light is flashing.....it will not go off by itself or when called upon...it will just not work at all

Ah, cool. That'll work. Thanks.

mine did the same thing. got a little annoying eventually, so when i replaced the heater core, i snatched the bulb out

[GEO302]

Remove the bulb
Cover the bulb with heat shrink
Heat the shrink
Install the bulb
DONE DEAL !!!!!
The flashing illuminated bulb will not melt the heat shrink.
The light genrally comes on with a faulty airbag ribbon

[Chuckles_5.0]

Mine has flashed since day one. I've had the dash apart a couple of times but never thought to remove the bulb haha.

[ponie1992]

As of late, I just choose to ignore it. lol

[mustb50]

Their is a plugin by the massair meter that leads to the airbag module unplug it then plug it back up... my old car did that sometimes and that fixed it

[Blacksheep]

Hell i just took all 3 of my sensors out of the car....

(Got them for sale if anybody wants them......)

Disconnecting the battery will only clear the fault as a temp thing. It does NOT make the probelm go away. If the probelm still persists and the car goes through drive cycles, the light will come back on.

MOst likely the Air Bag Module is your issue.

So I've been told. I have just been ignoring it as of late. As long as it won't go off for any reason, I'm ok with it.

[Notch93]

Sounds like the Clock Spring has gone south.:yes1:

[d_murphy28]

just take the light out of the dash unless you want the air bag to work

[Ram77mus]

I was told to remove the steering wheel and replace the electric connection ring and that will fix it. Try Fox Mustang Parts they showed me the part I may need to fix mine. But as of now I dont care about the light and got a bunch of other stuff instead. LOL

[gearhead302]

if you take out the bulb on a 95 the module will beep annoying the piss out of you. heat shrink the bulb and stuff some tin foil in the socket. reinstall. somthing is bad in the system and you will break yourself trying to throw parts at it. get it scanned and find out where the fault is and fix it if you want it to work

[redtang93]

yeah it will beep if you pull the bulb out. just put a little piece of black tape where the bulb flashes no one will ever notice it.
