AIR BAGS

:-( I am looking for any one who can explain to me why the AIR BAGS
on my 99 f250 crew cab lng bd did not deploy when I hit a lincoln town car at approx 50 mph when the owner ran a stop sign on a county road? Any information would be appreciated.

First off... is everyone okay? Do you have pictures of your truck after the wreck?

A scan of the computer may tell if there was a fault code with the system but it would surely have lit the light.

Was the truck stock? ie. no aftermarket bumper/front winch/big tires/etc. (Although aftermarket bumper usually are Air bag compliant.)

Yes I hope everyone is okay! also!
There should be a code stored in the computer,don't let ford touch your vehicle until you have someone other than Ford techs get the codes .
If you don't have any mods like a lift or crash bar removed from the front,they should have deployed.
If there was a code stored and no light indication,then Ford has a problem and the rest of us need to know!!!!!

I hope everyone is okay!

Let us know what you find !!

Rich

Pretty nasty! Glad you were driving a TRUCK.
Was the shop able to pull any codes or figure out why the bags didn't deploy?
