Air Bag Light

I have a 1999 ford f-250 super duty diesel. The air bag light sometimes flashes for days sometimes doesn't come on and then sometimes stays on. Any ideas how to fix it or at least to get the light to stay off?

If your air bag light flashs twice then 7 times, you have a short in the switch..

$60 for a new one, or follow either of these instructions on how to fix it.

LFC 27 is NOT a "short" in the switch. It's a "open" in the bulb circuit, usually caused by a burned out lamp.

If you carefully remove the entire switch assy you can check the lamp and replace it with low wattage lamp (dash lite).
