Sorry I have been a little busy.
It is giving me a blinking code when I start my truck.
It blinks 3 times then a short pause and then 2 times, then a long pause, then starts again with 3.
Thanks

Lamp fault code 32 is your driver air bag circuit open. Possible causes are a faulty driver air bag, faulty clockspring, wiring from the RCM to the driver air bag circuit or a faulty RCM. Does your horn work? Do you have steering wheel mounted buttons (ie. cruise control, stereo volume control, climate controls etc.) that don't work as well?

I had that code once (driver air bag circuit open).
I had stuck a pair of wet work boots under my driver's seat, from the rear, and it either loosened or opened up the plug under the seat. I think it's for a sensor to tell if a person is sitting in the seat. Cleaned the plug and put it back together and haven't heard from it again.
Maybe you can get that lucky?

I will have to go see a fried with an AE scanner.
Is the other stuff a big deal to check out ?

The next quick and easy test you can try, is to borrow another known "good" airbag from another truck to plug in temporarily to see if the light goes away. If it does, you need a new driver air bag. If it doesn't, the problem is in the driver air bag circuit between the RCM and driver air bag.

I think I will need to send it to the dealer.
Thanks for the help.

RCM=Restraint Control Module
