Airbag light

[DirtyDog]

Mine is pissin me off too Al. I'm gonna take out the front driver's seat and look at the wiring under the carpet and see what I can find.

I am about ready to do likewise. Post your results, please.

I took it out and haven't found anything wrong with the wires yet Al. I've traced them back to the back seats so far. They go from under the driver's seat around the back, then up the passenger side to the moniter behind the passenger kick panel.

I'll do some more tracing Sunday night or Monday.

I think it's magical fairies and gremlins.

Or maybe it's a dielectric plastic connector? Needs some more mcgruegelcracken.

Did you find anything?

I havn't yet.

 

[DirtyDog]

No. I didn't inspect the wires the whole way but I did test the resistance of the wires at the driver's seat and at the airbag monitor and they were no more than .1 ohms each. So I plugged everything back in, re-connected the battery and now NO airbag light.. I tried wiggling the yellow connector and the monitor plugs an still no light.

I am too having to deal with LFC 27 on my Ranger. Its all happened after I took the cluster out to clean out the dust collecting in the instrument guages. After years of staring at the dust, I had it! Now the AIRBAG code show up!

I tried using the SCANNER (some thing USB II) but it show no trouble code.

Al, could you tell me what code FLC 27 meant????

Thanks you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[aldive]

Sorry, I do not know LFC 2 7.

My explorer is a 95 Limited with power seats. Do I still look for the yellow plug. With all the stuff under the seats I can't seem to find a yellow plug

 

[DirtyDog]

You gotta look from the back passenger door behind the seat

 

[MONMIX]

95 wont have side air bags

Air bag Light is ussually a sign of low battery voltage, you need a certain scanner to pull the codes.

Al, It was explained to me once after paying for a new clockspring install the codes usually mean a bad connection was sensed, and since the airbag is a safety item the circuit is oversensitive to voltage changes. Our fix was a battery first, then new clockspring, advised by technician in that order. When I was hit with the bill and saw the part I about pood.
The way he explained it, the bad connection won't deploy the bag, but " might" keep it from deploying

I've got the same 37 code on my 99, Have you figured anything out yet Al?

 

[Ranger Al]

Ok, I got it fixed a few months ago and sorry I didn't pass on my knowledge. I did a reach on it and found that the indicator on/off light bulb was burned. When to Radio Shack and bought replacement lamp for $1.99 a package of 3!

You'll need to remove the ashtray asembly and unplug the wire to it. Then unsolden the bulb (look like LED) and resolden the new lamp to it and asemble together. The code is gone!

Radio Shack #272-1099

I tried calling Ford Stealership to have the whole board replace. They wanted $500+ for it. Bone yards, they don't know what I am talking about!@!@#!@#! So, this was my cheapest alternative and hope it'll work out for everyone here.

Mine has been functioning perfectly for several months.

Here is a list of air bag trouble codes:

Al, I was wondering what the resistance of that $6 part is? If all of the air bag sensors are supposed to be in a closed loop, why would each one need to function as a resistor? I would assume that the main module's pc board would have a resistor, and all of the sensors, and cap would be "0" Ohms. For some reason, this list doesn't say anything about a code 37.
