Anyone know what the code "32" means for the airbag? Lately my airbag light on the dash will blink 3-2 for several cycles then stays on solid til I shut down the truck.
If I'm not mistaken I think it is a shorted or open circuit on one of the sensors. My 96 bronco does the same thing. I just pulled the cluster frame off and put electrical tape over the light.
Flash code 32 means high resistance to the driver air bag, which commonly calls for replacement of the clockspring (air bag contact assembly) under the steering wheel.

The horn wiring also appears to pass thru this assembly. Replacing this should fix "32" and my horn (assuming nothing else is wrong). The horn relay was swapped with a known good one & the horn switches show continuity when pressed. (tested at the connector under the airbag assembly)
Any tips on replacing the sliding contact/clockspring? I'm already down to the steering wheel bolt-
It will also fix the cruise control inoperative which you appearantly dont know about yet..
Pull the steering wheel, remove the columb trim cover lower, and the large lower trim panel if you want to for extra room. Replace the clockspring... its pretty self explanatory. It just clips on or screws into place with three #20 torx screws depending on model year. Two electrical connectors. Install with the wheels centered straight ahead. Once installed pull the yellow lock tab and reinstall the steering wheel. Takes about an hour if you are slow..
