Hi!
At work we have a '95 or '96 E-150 which I drive every so often. I've noticed the airbag light has started blinking a pattern - three blinks, pause, two blinks, long pause, repeat. Does anyone know what this code deciphers to?

It means the Airbag Clockspring is dead . The Clockspring is the electrical connection from the airbag to the vehicle wiring harness .

 

Did you check to see if the AirBag is still there? Sounds
stupid but I have a story.....

My brother uses a E250 for work also and he noticed
the same sort of thing. After 2 weeks went by he decided
to check the airbag itself and noticed that the airbag had
been stolen!!! He keeps his doors unlocked in New York city.
Duh!!!
Just though id mention that. Good Luck

Thanks Paul! And seebeew, I'm unable to check the airbag itself but I doubt anyone has stolen it, lol. It's a smaller community. How the heck do you steal an airbag anyway?

I think airbag theft is bigger than car audio system theft . Airbags are $$$$ to replace so people steal them . They just remove them from the steering wheel , Very dangerous too w/o going thru the proper procedure for removal .

 

My brother had the driver and the passenger airbags
stolen. The passenger airbag, I believe, can be removed
just by prying open the plastic door in front of it.
My brother now has a glovebox in his E350 van... Cool...
I heard they get $1000 a piece for them... Crazy! Im selling
all mine.LOL

Great mod!
