- 2002 Ford Explorer XLT
This is my first post so please forgive me if it's not formatted correctly.
My 2002 Ford Explorer XLT (mfg in Jan 01) has the air bag light on in the instrument panel. After exhaustively searching the net to identify causes/solutions, I ended up taking it to the shop. They came back with DTC B2393. I searched and searched and couldn't find anything conclusive.
Then, based on this site, I counted the number of times the light flashes to determine the Lamp Fault Code (LFC) which is 19. Searched and searched, nothing but vague definitions.
My mechanic says it'll take 2-3 hours labor to find the problem. That's close to $300 just to "find" the problem. I would think with DTC B2393 and LFC 19, we should be able to nail down a solution or at least a general area in which to begin.
I've seen the TSB for the LFC 33 & 34 but am unsure whether those apply to my situation. I'm going to try disconnecting the switches under the passenger and driver's side seats in the hopes that it's just a loose connection but if ANYONE can help me solve this based on their own experience with it, I would be grateful.
