Need code help....

I am currently driving my Dad's truck while I search or a 79 for myself. When the key is turned on or off I get the 5 sets of 5 beeps and the airbag light flashing on the dash panel. I believe its the 51 code as its blinking 5 times, pause, then 1 time. Is this something I can fix myself or do I have to have this repaired by the stealer? It is a 95 F150 2WD SWB.

Get a Service manual so you can diagnose it yourself with a multimeter. Code 51 indicates the Diagnostic Monitor sensed a direct short to ground. Many causes for this DTC. For safety's sake get a manual or take it to a shop.
