2000 Explorer Air bag light is flashing

[MustangP51]

Hey I have a 2000 Explorer 5.0 AWD, and the airbag light keeps flashing. It didn’t bother me too much until I drove it from CT to Lake George (about 4 hours) at night both ways. It is too bright. I pulled apart the dash to remove the light from the cluster since I had to replace another bulb in cluster, and then the chime kept going off so I put the bulb back in. Does anyone know what the problem is?

The LFC is: On..On..On.......On..On..On..On..On..On and then it will usually just stay lit.

Thanks,
Ryan

Oh, and would a OBD II troubble code scanner tell you whats wrong?

there is a yellow plug under each seat up front, unplug the cap and blow in it....the light should go away

Mine does the same thing is it ok to unplug it without disconnecting the battery or anything? I just wanna make sure nothing happens. My light code beeping thing is the same.

On..On..On.....On..On..On..On..On..On



thanks

I was looking on WWW.VeryUseful.Com for that code, but only saw a code 35, not 36. Check a plug underneath the seat. It has a resistor that sometimes throws a code if there is a bad connection.

Thanks Guys

It was the yellow plug under the seat.

It sounded like that from the type of problem.

I'm having the same problem with my 96...I took out the bulb and now I get this really annoying chiming sound that is driving me CRAZY. I wanna put the bulb back in, because I can deal with the light but I don't know what I did with it...=|
