It may be the sensor is playing up as a few fords have that problem with their airbag sensors. but the best thing to do is to take it to a certified mechanic and have them test it. preferably with a scan tool. a ford dealership would have one of these.

Air bag light is on 96 grand caravan

i may be mistaken on if this applies to your model year but if the rear wiper does not work then check the fuse for rear wiper and replace if blown. make sure rear wiper switch is off and wiper is parked.if air bag light goes out after a few seconds then the rear wiper motor is bad causing fuse to blow. air bag module gets power for its fuse through wiper fuse.if wiper is not parked then fuse may blow when you turn yhe key on.you have two choices. replace wiper motor or remove tailgate door panel and unplug the motor

My air bag light is flashing how to fix it?

first things first is you need to know what code(s) have set

The system readiness indicator light (AIR BAG warning light) is used in diagnosing malfunctions or faults in the air bag system. A fault code will be displayed when the ignition switch is in the RUN position and the diagnostic monitor detects a system fault. Certain faults may not be displayed until approximately 30 seconds after ignition switch has been turned to RUN position. This is the amount of time required for diagnostic monitor to test and verify all system faults.
AIR BAG warning light flashes a series of 2-digit fault codes. For example, a fault Code 32 will be displayed in the following manner: flash flash flash, one-second pause, flash flash, 3-second pause, then the cycle would repeat.

Once you have the code(s) post them here

I have a 2007 Ford Escape that the airbag light is flashing 1 then 8. It does this a few times, and then stays on. What does this code mean?

I think you might have a bad air bag module or sensor that is usually a problem when the air bag light try checking that and see if it helps

Air bag light flashes 1 then 6

Common fault on FORD
Usually due to a poor connection in the YELLOW PLASTIC CONNECTOR underneath the passenger seat.


Just push it together properly and it should clear the AirBag fault

Air bag light

You can't reset it. It's flashing a code. If you tell me the code, I can tell you the proceedure to isolate the fault.

when you start up, there is an 8 second system test and the light is on during this period. Then it flashes out a 2-digit code. The first group of flashes is the first digit and then there is a pause before the second group of flashes which represent the second digit.

flash-flash-flash-pause-flash-flash-flash-flash-flash-flash = code 36

What code is your system flashing?

I changed the steering coloumn and my airbag light flashes

clockspring is behind steering wheel.

info

96 escort

If the computer in the air bag diagnostic monitor detects an open in the air bag indicator circuit and if another system fault exists, then the air bag diagnostic monitor will turn on its internal tone generator (beeper). The beep pattern is five sets of five beeps. The pattern is repeated every 30 minutes while the ignition switch is in the ON position. The five beeps do not indicate a code five or any other code. The air bag indicator circuitry must be repaired before the diagnostic trouble code can be read.
