Airbag Light

Our 92 is now starting to display the airbag light, while the car is running. There's some sort of a sequence to the light.

The light comes on, turns off. turns on, turns off.
Then there's a small delay.
turns on, turns off, turns on, turns off, turns on, turns' off
delay.

Cycle repeats.

Anyone know what it's trying to tell me?

It's an airbag failure code. Check to see if the horn is not working and also the cruise. If all three are not working the clockspring needs to be replaced.

Mine is also having the same problem! Where is the location of this clockspring?

HI,

Check for the correct size fuse for the horn and cruise control first.

The reason for the coded flashing light may mean there is no Air bag - thats what the problem was with mine - a piece of black electrical tape wroks nicely to cover the flashing light.

Clockspring is a coiled wire (hence clockspring) under the steering wheel cover and below the airbag. Allows steering wheel to turn while maintaining electrical contact with those features on the wheel, horn, airbag and cruise control. Early 90's models prone to failure, common problem. Fix is relatively simple if done properly. Get a Chilton manual for detailed explanation.
