airbag light flashing
Tonite the airbag lite on my '94 Aerostar started flashing when I started it up. It would flash twice then pause and flash three times then pause and repeat the sequence. After I shut off the van for a while then restarted no flashing lite appeared. It seems I experienced something like this before and the clockwheel needed to be replaced. Anyone have any ideas.

airbag light flashing
I have the same problem. Same sequence. I've read else where in the forum that It is important to have the airbag fixed proto regardless of the problem. However, I don't have the warmest affection for dealers, and would like to have some clue as to what is actually wrong, before I put myself at their mercy. Does anyone have a clue as to what the problem is?

The 23 code means:
"safing sensor circuit input feed /return circuit open"
You've got a bad sensor or connection.
This can be one of two things.
1) An open circuit in the wiring harness in either Circuit 611 (white/orange) or 612 (Pink/orange).
2) An open circuit inside the Left Hand cowl side front air bag sensor and bracket across Circuit 611 and Circuit 612 wires.
Hope this helps. You'll need a good schematic to chase this.
Would recommend you let the dealer do this for you.
