Getting what I assume is a 32 code. Light flashes 3 times then pauses and flashes 2 times then repeats. I see code 32 says: DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG CIRCUIT HIGH RESISTANCE OR OPEN (CODE 32)

What do I have to do to correct this. I primarily just want the light to go away, but I think I read that if you just remove the bulb it will result in warning beeps?

 

It will beep until you go nuts! There are diagnostics you can perform but an overwhelming percentage of the time it will prove to be the clock-spring. Your 94 (and mine ) are relatively inexpensive compared to the 95-96.

Thanks for the info. I know sometimes the horn and cruise will not work when clock spring is bad, but mine both work fine. What type of diagnostic procedure would indicate that is definitely the clock spring?

Edit: is it possible to remove the bulb and also deactivate whatever makes the beeping?

 

I can email it to you. PM me your email addy here or FTC.

 

But, you'd need an air bag simulator which is probably as much as the clockspring. Sending you an email

 

If the horn and cruise work it still doesn't rule out the possibility of the clockspring, but it could also be a faulty squib (detonator charge) in the airbag itself or something in the harness. That or something in the harness has come loose.

Pulling the bulb will make the module beep. Unplugging the diagnostic module (blue box under the dash) will make it STFU.

Note that it's against the law to disable your airbags

 

Always a possibility but I have yet to find a bad air bag, several clock springs though. IIRC that's the LFC mine is is throwing and I'll fix it, after I switch in a better column (which may have a good clock spring) I personally like air bags.

 

Well guys I had to pull the cluster to replace a burnt out turn signal indicator bulb and while I was in there I inserted a piece of black cardboard in the tunnel to cover the bulb. Works good no light comes through. I will eventually replace the clock spring, but for now this works.

 

The clockspring replacement is not hard at all. I did one this summer on my '94.
