You posted a while ago but there is a great fix on here I just did it in a half hour and it cost 7 bucks. I believe it is you air bag switch light. It's the one that tells you the passinger side air bag is off. do a search (air bag light) I believe it was posted by John good luck

I'm assuming you're getting the code 47 from the air bag lamp flashing. 4 flashes, then a pause, then 7 flashes, then a longer pause, then repeats.

Code 47 is Passenger Pretensioner Circuit Resistance High. This could be a bad pretensioner, or a something as simple as a connector under the passenger seat disconnected.

Be very careful messing with Air Bag and Pretensioner wiring. It doesn't take much static electricity to set one off.

Airbag code 4-7

I have the same 4-7 or 7-4 code blinking then the light goes solid on. Does anyone have a wiring diagram of the passenger side seat? I like to know what I'm working on before I start poking around.
The truck was in a very minor bumper bender, strickly cosmetic on the bumper. The Lincoln dealer installed a new bumper but that was about a year ago. The light is a recent addition.
The seatbelt is located inside the seat as this is a supercab truck. I only noticed two wires going into the bottom of the seat, I guessed they were for the seat belt fastened light. I would guess that signal is in series with a weight on seat switch so the light, buzzer don't go on with an empty seat. Let me know if there may be another wire harness to the seat that I didn't see during my quick inspection. Thank you all for the assistance.

Safe the system per the WSM.

Check the connectors and look for pulled pins on the RCM connectors. The RCM is mounted under the center console up under the dash on the 04 SD.
