It's not too difficult to replace, it's the device that connects the steering wheel to the wire harness electrically. So you need to remove the steering wheel, and it should be easy to access.

Yes a code 32 is a bad clockspring 9 out of 10 times. A clockspring is the round sliding contact assembly behind the steering wheel that allows the airbag, cruise, and radio control wiring circuits to pass through the rotating steering wheel.

You get the code 32 when one of the contacts for the airbag circuit stops making contact. You'll also get the code when any portion that airbag circuit is open. So there is a chance it's not the clockspring, but the chances are more likely than not it is.

Thank you guys for the help on that. Any ideas on what might be wrong with what I described on these other two links?

It was the clock spring. I had it replaced, and the code is gone.

Bad airbag contacts in the clock spring.

It would depend on what vehicle you have. Since you didn't tell us such a CRITICAL detail, it's impossible to give you a correct answer.

LFC 33 on an 07 indicates a problem with the driver's side seat belt pretensioner.

I've got a bit of a problem with my 2012 F150 XLT Supercab w/ 5.0 and 4x4, my airbag light flashes turns on once ignition is in the "ON" position then turns off and back on making it code 11, but, I cannot find anything about this. Also, for some reason when it only happens when it's above 66 degrees outside and I live in Seattle, so the temperature barely gets above that, and as soon as I take it anywhere they pull it into their shop, that is cooler than outside, and the code disappears. Anyone have the same thing or any advice besides the obvious, "take it to Ford;" I would like to see if I can solve this first without doing much. I checked all of the cables under the seats, the fuses, the battery and the airbag module under the center console.

03 F150 Airbag light: 2 blinks, 7 blinks

I also took the front seat out of my truck, to retrieve something underneath. I put the seats back in: now the airbag selector switch does not light up even in the off position, and now the airbag light blinks and a pattern of two blinks, then seven blinks. What did I do?

You managed to blow the light bulb in the PAD switch, probably due to banging the seat against the dash just to the right of it's center. Or, just bad luck and timing....
