Hi, I have a 2000,F250 Superduty, the passener air bag switch indicator light does not come on when the passenger air bag is disabled,
When I start the truck the airbag warning light flashes "27", Does anybody know what this code means,i would very much appreciate if somebody could tell me,Thanks... ( georgiejr@alltel.net )
Code 27? do you mean the light flashes twice - then seven times. Like the old style codes. If so, my 99 f-150 just started doing the same thing for no obvious reason. I will be looking into it and will let ya know if I figure it out. - Have you found anything new on yours?
thats right as soon as I start the engine ,The Air bag light flashes twice,then seven times.it repeats this about 4 - 5 times then stays on,still havent found out anything yet
KBDDBD, if I cant find anything out here I'm gonna break downand take it to the dealer
Code #27 means the passenger indicator switch buld has burned out. I replaced it with a new dealer unit ($62) and it resolved the problem. I took the old unit apart and found out is is a filament bulb soldered onto a pcb board. I replaced the old bulb with one from radio shack for .37 cents and am keeping it as a spare. The factory should splurge and use leds for applications like this - it would save us a lot opf hassle.
KBDDBD,thanks for that information,I havent checked the forum for awhile and just noticed your post ,I will try changing the bulb like you did ,And thanks again for the reply
KBDDBD, I replaced the bulb in the passenger airbag switch as you described and for $1.64 and about 15 minutes time the problem was solved ,thank you very much for taking the time to reply to my post,it has saved me a lot of aggrevation and money
Sorry for the slow response. I just figure out this is sending messages to my old email. I was happy to post and help out. Thats what I love about this board. It has helped me many times and for the first time I was able to help others. Actually, I found the code from another kinda unrelated post and figure it out that way. Saved again!!
