It is flashing a code. Count the flashes, a long pause seperates the numbers.

I am not sure. Those do not appear to be codes usually they are 3 digit. Maybe someone else will chime in. In the mean time Autozone may be able to get the codes off. How many miles on the truck?

The airbag light might be the clockspring warning, like mine, is no good. Is your horn working?

My abs light came on once when I pulled a trailer with bad wiring that blew the fuse. The fuse for the abs is the same as the brake lights and the automatic trans shift interlock. Not sure if you have an auto but when mine blinked the lights didn't work and I was stuck in park.
The code 32 for the airbag is more than likely the clockspring. Mine is shot too and that is how it started. airbag first, then horn now cruise. My whole wheel is dead and that damn light wont stop blinking(under the black electric tape now) Going to replace in the spring when I can stand to work outside.

Not sure what the code 51 is, might have to call the dealer on that one. I don't know where else to get airbag codes since they really don't want regular joes working on the system.
Glad to hear you figured out your other problem.
