airbag/seatbelt light flashing.

[male man]

2005 Explorer 4x4
The seatbelt/airbag light started flashing a code....5 flashes then 1 flash repeated 3 times then it stays lit. What does the 5-1 code mean? Thanks.

Light Flash Code 51: Airbag diagnostic Monitor Internal thermal fuse Blown.

Sorry I don't have any more detail. Maybe someone with more knowledge will chime in.

Code 51 on 2005 explorer has to due with driver safety belt buckle switch circuit faults.

Thanks, I sit in the middle when I deliver mail so I shove the latch back behind the seat....probably broke a wire.
