Air Bag Light Flashing

JustinSane · February 26th, 2008, 08:28 PM

When I went to leave work today, I noticed my Airbag light was flashing, then stayed on. The light blinks one, then twice, then repeats until finally it just stays on. I reset the computer when I got home by disconnecting the battery. Anyone know what's going on?

one of the clips came unpluged, you gotta take out the dash to get to one, the other is behind your glove box

haha, have fun with that

all you do is use a flathhead to remove the light knob then remove the 2 torx bits under the top of the trim. the trim will pop out exposing a few small torx bits. remove these and pull out gauge cluster as a whole.

air bag code 12 is a loss of voltage code check your fuses first

JustinSane · February 27th, 2008, 11:14 PM

Alright so I went and checked the fuses and the airbag fuse was blown. I changed it out and now I'm getting the 52 code which is "Backup power supply fault" What should I start to hit up next?

JustinSane · February 27th, 2008, 11:23 PM

From what I've read, this 52 code will stay after you fix the initial problem until you clear the code. Just so I understand this, to clear the code, I turn the car on, let the code run once, jump the two circuits before the light stays on, hold it till I hear a tone?

Do I have to remove the glovebox to get to the airbag module?

96b.boy · February 27th, 2008, 11:33 PM

i think if i rember rite it shuts off after three key cycles after fixing the problem or you have to discon. the battery for a little bit . i don't rember jumping anything but i could be wrong

unplug the one behind the glovebox, start car, turn off car, replug and your done

JustinSane · February 28th, 2008, 12:48 AM

unplug what behind the glove box? Here's the site I'm referencing Mustang 1995 Air Bag Diagnostic Codes
Towards the bottom of the page there are instructions about jumping the module behind the glove box to clear the code. But if there's something I need to unplug, I'd rather just do that.

GreenFaleen · February 28th, 2008, 10:18 AM

the module has a plug going into it

JustinSane · February 28th, 2008, 08:06 PM

So all I need to do then is just unplug that? No need to jump it? Also, how you pop off the glovebox?

my Airbag light was flashing, then stayed on. The light blinks 4 (four) times, interval of 8seconds, then 4 times again,interval of 3 seconds,repeat 4 times, interval 8 seconds then repeat this more 4 times , then repeats until finally it just stays on
total 5 times

what code is this? what happining?
