airbag code 52

i had been having battery issues with my 97 ford f150 4.6 liter for the longest time, thought i had a short under dash, i pulled entire dash out, disconnecting bat first of course, and inspected all wiring harness connections and fixing my issues and putting it all back together. now with new bat and all put back together i am now getting the airbag light flashing 5 times then 2 times (error code 52) i know it has some thing to do with power failure or backup battery, but now with the new battery in i cant seem to get it to reset. any suggestions on how to do this?

trying to keep this thread open. really need some kind of insight on how to reset airbag module or get the light to go off. I did try that turning the key on and off for 80 times and felt like a fool when I did it a hundred times and the light still wont stop blinking the 5 2 code. then staying on.

If you ever get the OBDII port issues resolved, a mechanic with a good scan tool can reset the LFC 52.

It probably takes 256 cycles on a '97 to clear the fault. I'd have to look it up in the WSM, but my server crashed this week.
