Airbag Light is Flashing
I have a '92 AWD 4.0 Eddie Bauer EXT with Digital Dash, and out of no where the airbag light has just started flashing. I also noticed that when I turn off the ignition, I hear an audible tone coming from the dash that I have never heard before. I am thinking that the two are related.
Has anyone every had this happen, and if so, how did you fix it.
your help is appreciated.
Thanks - Tony

The flashing of the airbag light is telling you that there is an issue and giving you a code. It is like morse code, it will flash a certain number of times for the first number, stop, and do it again for the second number. That will help us narrow it down. I think that beep is related telling you that the air bag is not active.
Tell us the numbers and we can help.

Yes, count the number of flashes to determine the code number. There is a longer interval between the repeated code number. i.e. 3 flashes, short pause, 4 flashes, long pause, 3 flashes, short pause, 4 flashes, long pause (and continues)= code 34.

Wish the airbag computer was hooked up to the PCM that way you could just pull a code.
I remeber there was a post to disassemble the blue box and replace a fuse to fix code 51 if the light comes on.
If your getting code 51 read this post
