- 1996 Aerostar 4wd
I just bought a used 1996 aerostar with some problems and this forum has already helped me solve one of them. I love it! I have ordered shop manuals so hopefully I can figure out some stuff my self or help others. But for the time being the two manuals I have don't cover electrical - that is on the way.
But the manuals did help me fix my sliding door problem - door didn't appear to be pulled in tight at the top rear. Leaking like sieve and it rains a lot here in Fort Myers. So I adjusted the latch strike...I just scooted it a little closer to the car- needed a star bit and man was it torqued in tight,,at first I removed 1 and then 2 and then all 3 washers, but that didn't help. And I also managed to drop the nut that retains it down the door frame...had to remove the panel to get it out - so if you unscrew the strike - make sure you remove the panel and secure the bolt on the back part of the door strike.
Now onto my unsolved problem. Any help is appreciated. When I start up my car and after the system checks...the airbag light blinks 2 pauses and the blinks 4 times.
From internet research, I understand this is a System Disarm failure or internal diagnostic monitor fault. If I'm wrong please let me know.
First question - is my airbag working even with this error?
Second question - anybody have info on how to troubleshoot and fix this problem.
Many thanks in advance.
