So I just purchased this 00 Mountaineer. After owning it for a short time It started blinking the air bag light. I do know you can count the blinks. It blinks 3 then 7 times. Anyone know what code that is, or what the fix is?
 












I have the same problem on a '99 Mountie. It is always the connector under the passenger seat. Seems the connector is defective and any time somebody sits in the back behind the passenger seat their feet touch the connector and it loses contact. Sometimes if I move the seat all the way forward it will become disconnected too. I just reach under the back of the front seat and push the connector in. It never comes apart, but just pushing it clears the problem. It isn't too easy to reach because of all the power seat hardware. I suppose the permanent fix is to remove the seat entirely and fix the connector properly.
