Hi Everyone,

New to the forum here. I bought an 09 F550 (XL, 6.8 v10) cab/chassis flatbed w from an auction in Canada. Got a great deal, but it definitely needed some cleaning up. Luckily, there is a Ford truck dismantler nearby, and I was able to get some new interior/ dash parts and replace the ripped up bench seat with a nice cloth 40/20/40 seat. When I got everything connected, I noticed the airbag light will not go off. Tried turning the passenger airbag key switch to off, nothing.

If anyone has any advice/wisdom they could pass on, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks,

Steve

 

did you have any connectors under the seat that you didn't hook back up when i swapped my seats I had to use the seatbelt receptacle or whatever the thing you put the buckle in is called from my old seats because the plugs on the connectors didn't match and if you left it unpluged the air bag light would go nuts

 

Thanks for the reply! I only saw one connector under the driver's side and I plugged it in. I didn't change out the seat belt receptacle, it just seemed like they were bolted to the floor, no connections or anything... It shouldn't be hard to swap those out to give it a shot though... Its worth having the airbags deploy properly god forbid.

 

My seatbelt receptical had a connector wired to them that plugged in to a connector that came out of the carpet that didn't match the ones that were on the seats I got that's why I changed them to my originals but it sounds like you used your orginals any way so I don't think swapping them is going to help you in this case. If you only had one connector under you seats and it plugged in ok I would go back and check that connector and see if maybe one side had a few more wires than the other and that maybe where you light is coming from even though the connectors fit together. You could also take it and have the codes read for the air bag system that should tell you where exactly your issue is coming from.
