Sometimes when I remote start my truck and then get in and drive off the airbag icon light comes on and It will not go off. So i pull over and re start it and it goes away.

Any ideas?

Could be lots of things Shane, and unfortunately the only way to find out is to plug a scanner into the truck to figure out which component the computer thinks is faulty. Your local Ford dealer happens to have one of these, and I would suggest taking it in. Are you still under your 3/36 warranty?

 

No 3/36. I do have the ESP premium though.

I'm moving to Spokane,Wa in less than a month and gonna tow a 25' enclosed trailer there and back from Texas. I need things right.

Btw..this dang spell check makes me look like an idiot.....lol

Just remember that whenever that light is turned on your airbag system is disengaged, but no other systems are affected.

 

Called my dealer today and they said there is a 4/54,or 56,000 mile warranty under safety restraint systems.

Going to get it looked at Monday morning.

 

Mine was doing something similar a few weeks ago and it took the Ford dealer a few days to figure out. They traced all the wires and it ended up being a burr on the driver seat motor that created a pinhole in the seatbelt wire insulation. It would intermittently short out when it made contact through the burr and cause the airbag light to turn on.

The only way they could get it to stay on by demand was to drive my truck around and hit some speed bumps. I told them that they should have just stuck someone that weighed 250+ in it and it would have done it right away. So it all boiled down to a combination of weight in the seat, the burr and the pinhole in the insulation. I'm guessing the the easy-in/out feature of the powered seats probably didn't help much either.

 

2011 job 1 here..no easy in out.
