code went away after fixing wiring and small things but this new code came. All airbag light codes also goes away when putting in a different ignition switch but then an ABS light turns on.

Did you replace the part where you insert the key or the one on top of the column by the firewall?

Is it a '52 Packard?
They use 2 digit codes
Code 12 is low battery voltage
The service manuals are your friends
So is a DVOM and a few pinpoint test steps from the service manual for the code

You obviously did not use the link to look at the other thread. If you did you would have learned the truck is a ‘95 F-150.
A ‘52 Packard had a computer that displayed 2 digit codes? Very advanced technology for then. I assumed it had points ignition and a carburetor.

OK, just to put my oar in the sh..., er, stew pot....

20 years ago I did a search about flashing AB light that led me here.

Don't know if it was 23 0r 32 but the fix was clock spring that was not made by aftermarket at the time.

Seems like no horn or cruise was present too.
