Would any of you kind gents know what I should do to "outen" the flashing airbag light on my 93 E150/351 5.8L club wagon??? I've got about 132,000 + miles on her, and was recently (bout 2 weeks ago) hit, more like smacked on the left rear qtr.panel? the area after the rear tire, but again, I wasn't hit directly, could the light be because of this? Can I just pull a fuse (so much for saftey restraint?)
Thanks for any info.

The light should be flashing a code. Can you supply that info? Something like 2 flashes, pause, 4 flashes, = a code 24.

 

Sorry to butt in, I have the same problem with my '92 Club Wagon. The airbag light just started flashing the code 51. I've not had any bumps or anything. I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me what this code means.

Thanks in advance

 

Thank you for the info!! The light is still flashing, I did not think to see if there is a pattern that would be a code. A few years back I bought one of those hand held scanners that you could connect to your engines computer and it would flash in a pattern that you could look up in a code book. This sounds like a similar diagnostic? I'll check this out tomorrow!! Thanks again!!

 

Phil G, my 2000 manual does not show a 51. Will check Alldata tomorrow.

 

I have the info. if you need it.

 

I checked the pattern of the light this afternoon, and it is flashing a code 45, I appreciate any further light you could shed!!!

Thanks
John

John,

According to my set of service manuals for a 1994 E-series, code 45 is " Radiator support center air bag sensor not mounted to vehicle properly". Maybe you have a ground fault for that sensor?

Rob, thanks so much for the info, I will check this out, I replaced the radiator a few years back, maybe something came loose, I believe in my Haynes manual there is a schematic that shows sensor locations.

Thanks Much!!
John
