Working on the SRS is very hazardous and therefore is not a DIY repair. Take the car to a professional for diagnosis and repair of the SRS.

Here's a quick check list for most common cost of SRS / Air bag problem.

Dirty contacts on driver and passenger seat belt buckles

Dirty contacts on seat belt connectors (under seats)

Dirty contacts on driver and passenger sides weight sensors (under seat)

Seat covers

Weight on passenger seat
(Example: grocery package trigger SRS / Air Bag light on the way home.)

I recommend you to pass an vacuum over the contacts and use CRC electronic parts cleaner to rule out connectivity problem.

I DO NOT recommend disconnecting the negative battery connector to clean the code(s).

Without the code(s) the dealer will takes "BILLABLE" time to reproduce the problem.

This is an indication of a warning light that the Car doesn't have any Air Bags. If you have them then surely the Car System is failing to detect the Air Bags. It can be an outcome of loose contact. Try cleaning the contacts but don't do it without the Service or Repair Manual. It is a professional work. better contact dealer to get a checkup of the Air Bag System.
Thank you Sir, Have a nice day.

2008 F150 Regular cab I think the dealership un hook my light to airbag so now my warning buzzar will not stop going off please help before I go crazy?

Why would the dealer unhook the air bag light ? Turn the key to the on position ,is the air bag light lit ? That would be ******* for the deal to disable air bag light . An besides ,there is no buzzer for a non working airbag light. So take it back to the dealer.

Air Bag Warning Indicator The instrument cluster is hardwired to the restraint control module (RCM). If an air bag system concern is detected, a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is logged, and the RCM provides a ground path to the instrument cluster, turning on the air bag indicator

If there is a problem with the airbag system a DTC- diagnostic trouble code would set

Restraints Control Module Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index DTC Description Action B1869 Lamp Air Bag Warning Indicator Circuit Open Go To Pinpoint Test N . B1870 Lamp Air Bag Warning Indicator Circuit Short to Battery Go To Pinpoint Test N . All other DTCs - REFER to Section 419-10 .

Where is the air bag location?

If the air bag light is on there is a code stored in the SRS restraint module - air bags ! Wiring problem , impact sensor ! First place to start is have the vehicle check for codes . Not with OBD2 code reader., factory or professional grade scan tool . If you have not worked on air bag systems I recommend you take it to a ASE certified repair shop or the dealer . People have been killed by accidental air bag deployment , by not knowing what's up . Takes special tools !

2002 Lincoln ls air bag light came on 63000 miles someone told me it has to be reset.......

If the air bag light is on there is a problem with the air bag. The light means the air bags will not deploy in an accident. Only a qualified tech should work on air bags.

When the light is on all the time there is a problem in the air bag system. This is something you will want to take to a service center soon, as long as the light is on the air bags will not deploy in an accident.

1999 f150 airbag light stays on after blinking upon start up!

Passenger Air Bag Deactivation (PAD) Switch
The passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) switch:
  • is located on the instrument panel to the right of the climate controls.
  • contains a light emitting diode (LED) that indicates when the PAD switch is activated (passenger air bag disabled).
  • allows the passenger air bag deployment circuit to be disabled using the ignition key.
  • should be used whenever a child safety seat is being used in the front passenger seating position.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prove Out the System
Prove out the system means to turn the ignition switch from the OFF to the RUN position and visually monitor the air bag indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag indicator will light continuously for approximately six seconds and then turn off. If an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault is present, the air bag indicator will either:
  • fail to light.
  • remain lit continuously.
  • flash.
The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned from the OFF to the RUN position. This is the time required for the restraints control module (RCM) to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and an SRS fault exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of five sets of five tone bursts. If this occurs, the air bag indicator will need to be repaired before diagnosis can continue.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Active Commands
This command allows the technician to verify operation of the air bag indicator, passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) lamp and chime. When the air bag output command is executed, the indicator, the PAD lamp, chime and the chime are activated simultaneously for approximately four seconds. All devices are deactivated automatically.
