Hey everyone, I have a 2006 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer. I noticed for a bit that the "Passenger Air Bag off" would periodically come on and go off.... i never paid much attention thinking it was because of all the junk on my front passenger seat. Well lately, the Front Airbag Light on my instrument cluster stays on.
I was reading through forum threads related to Airbags and i went out and attempted to run a few tests and check to see if the light flashes.
When i put the key in the ignition and turn to on (not turn the engine on) the airbag light flashes once only then stays lit. I did that a few times and each time I would turn the ignition on, turn it off, open the door then close and repeat.
Well, just once it started doing these chimes after the ignition was turned on... i couldve swore it was 4,5,5,5,5 but I have no idea how i did that and can not get it to do it again.
Does that mean anything to anyone?
I know it has something to do with one of the front airbag sensors but I have no idea where to go from here. I went under the seat and disconnected both Yellow plugs, can someone confirm if the yellow plugs were the correct ones? I noticed that the passenger yellow plug was kind of attached to the top of the things down there, the yellow plug under the driver seat is on the floor and i see no where to attach it to the bottom of the seat.
How do i do that test to get the chime codes? is there a specific sequence with the key and ignition?
Is the yellow clip the correct one?
What fuse is the tied to the airbag on a 2006 Ford Explorer? I checked the manual and I cant find anything that says Airbag or SRS for the fuse panel under the steering wheel or under the hood. Does anyone know what fuses I need to check?
I also read it could be the light either on the instrument cluster or where the passenger airbag off light is.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thx
