Robert.. I'm getting an airbag code 32. Drivers side open circuit deal.
Any idea what this means? Where do I need to look for a problem? Thanks!

The clock spring is the wire assembly that goes from the steering column up into the steering wheel. Signals for the speed control, horn, and air bag go through these wires.
If that is what is faulty then it's quite easy to fix. No special tools are needed. It will take around 1-2 hrs.
If you have the service CD then use that or I can post how to do it.
Before you bust out the tools you should get out a service manual because this procedure is NOT in the manual.
1. Disconnect batt.
2. Remove driver air bag.
3. Remove steering wheel. Make sure wheels are straight ahead.
4. Remove lower dash trim.
5. Remove trim around steering column.
6. Remove clock spring assy.
That is basically it. You will have a few other things you need to remove such as the ign cylinder but it is not that tough. While not recommended by ford you can remove the steering wheel by loosening the nut and then hammering the nut/shaft while a friend pulls the wheel off.
correct me if i am wrong but doesnt the cd rom service manual tell you what codes are there under (service/ electrical, dianogsis testing/ trouble shooting???)
for all of u asking about the airbag situation, i still havent fixed it yet. its still blinking that same pattern. anyway, i found out what the cause of it is. under the passenger seat are 2 wires. blue and a yellow i think. anyways, these wires are connectd to a sensor device. one of the wires was pulled out of the socket which is giving me the airbag light. i know people are asking pictures and im sorry that i havent been on top of it lately. i promise tonight that i'll post some pics. stay tuned!
I have just solved my code 37 problem. I unhooked the connectors under the passenger seat, and hooked them up again and the airbag light went out. I think that they must have been disturbed when I was vacuuming under there. My light flashed on an intermitend basis, so I assume that there was a poor connection.
just saw this thread, and was just going to say exactly THAT, check the underseat connectors, even unplug em and plug em back in... may be just the fix.

hey blue.. did u check it after u read my post?? haha just curious... any ideas how to fix my problem? where can i get sensor like that besides the dealer?
Nevermind. I forgot to put the fuse back in from last time I fudged with it! Doh. But I'm going to get serious on this project now. Who can tell me what about a clock spring? Thanks
What do u want to know about the clock spring? It's the device that allows the airbag in the steering wheel to work while allowing turning of the wheel.
