Beeping Noises
I own a 2000 F150 4X4 Off Road. I noticed that my air bag light was staying on indicating that it needed serviced. After a few weeeks the light burned out I guess and now I have these series of beeps. When I start the truck up, it beeps five times for five times. There is then a thirty minute break and then it does it again. The Ford dealership said that my Airbag PDF switch needed replaced and that was going to cost me $741. plus tax. Does any body know how I can stop these beeps without taking the dash out and replacing the bulb?

Step 1: Replace the in-cluster bulb.
Step 2: Count the flashes to see what the code is unless you remember the two digit fault code.
The Radio Shack bulb tip only aplies if you have a 27 code and have turned off the passenger side bag. That is only for the PAD bulb.

Thanks alot. I took the dash apart which was fairly easy. I got as far as taking out the instrument panel. It seems to be connected by the "transmition gear select cable", I have an automatic transmission. I could not figure out how to disconnect the cable in order to pull the panel out. Does that make sense? Any suggestions?
