Ford windstar airbag light on after replacing battery

My car's battery had been dead for a while. We put a new battery in and next thing you know, the airbag light was on. First it flashed 3 times on, then flashed 3 times again, then it just stayed on. I turned off the car, then turned it back on and it kept doing this in the same sequence. Please help! I need to take my car to inspection and I am afraid it won't pass!

SOURCE: airbag light flashing

You will need to contact your local dealer, airbags are very dangerous and this is not a repair you want to attempt yourself.

You should take the vehicle to a certified dealer immediately; Your airbag could deploy prematurely causing serious injury or death!

SOURCE: Airbag light flashes 1-8, stays lit

You have a bad Passenger Air Bag Deactivation Indicator. The bulb that shows when the passenger air bag is off.
Have seen alot of these go bad especially in police cars. The part number you need is 5W1Z-10A936-A.

SOURCE: My 2002 ford taurus won't start unless i turn key 4 to 7 times

there is also a device called a transponder, it is AROUND the ignition switch and this is the part that reads your key code. thim might be your problem, hope this helps and good luck- P.S. i hope you didn't end up paying for the "repairs" that the mechanics made as they oviously havn't fixed the problem and probably were not correctly diagnosed.

Hi,
That relay probably controls the car's lighting. See if there's another one near it in the fuse panel - like for the AC or similar. Try it. Or go to a wrecking yard or parts store and buy one.

And yes, you could have factory alarm system.....do some Google searches on Windstar alarm.

GL,

My battery dies i replaced a brand new alternator but still dosen't charge tomthe battery

The battery most likely has dead cells and not charging due to the alternator .The alternator is doing what it should, your battery just can't hold the charge the alternator is putting out. Go have the battery tested at a local auto zone or advance auto store. Free to check

1999 Windstar has the air bag light on the horn is not working and the controls on dash (gas temp etc) just goes wild flopping everywhere.

under your steering wheel, is a part called a clock spring which controls your airbag/horn........removal of steering wheel is necessary
it looks like a round thing with multiple colored wires coming out of it.
the replacement is available at your local Ford dealer

PS: disconnect battery first! you will need a steering wheel puller to do the job.
