Ford aerostar 94 airbag code 13 how to fix

The code indicates a problem in the driver airbag module, the common cause is the coiled contact drum under the steering wheel is defective, it is refered to as the "Clock Spring" Contact

why get a reconditioned transmission when yours is fixable for a lot less money
indicates ,
low fluid level,
dirty oil
servo/solenoid problems
have the fault codes read first for free at most auto spares shops to find the exact fault

If you replaced the airbags, it might be that the code just needs to be turned off. I had the same thing with mine, sometimes the code is not turned off after replacement.

u need to bring it to a qualified tech..trying to make repairs on a airbag system without the experience can cause a accidential inflation of the air bag an can cause serious injury or death

When the airbag light (SRS) is on or blinks it means a fault has occurred in the system and the airbag diagnostic monitor has disabled the system, the most common problem that turns the light on is a break in the connection to the steering wheel mounted airbag, this is due to a rotating ribbon contact that breaks under the steering wheel that connects the airbag to the wiring harness and the diagnostic monitor, the part is called the clock spring contact, a coiled up ribbon electrical contact that turns with the steering wheel while maintaining a mechanical connection to the airgag mounted on the steering wheel, to replace this part you must disarm the airbag system and remove the steering wheel, this requires a special steering wheel puller tool and that you disarm the airbag system before you start the work, to do this disconnect the battery negative cable for 1/2 hour prior.

The code you have indicates that the internal fuse in the airbag control module has been blown; this happens automatically when a short to ground occurs in one of the airbag circuits in the vehicle. This is a safety feature designed to prevent injuries due to accidental deployment of the airbag due to an electrical fault; the module blows the fuse intentionally to disable the system. the fuse is not serviceable; a new airbag module must be installed after the short to ground has been located and repaired. The air bag diagnostic module is located at the center of the dash panel, below the integrated control panel

usaly the all run off same fuse and relay so most likely u will have to replace window motor

your clock spring is broken... can be quite costly with labor

something is faulty with airbag systems. you need to have it hooked to a diagnostic computer to find out what the source is. there are too many parts from sensors to clock springs to say what it is exactly.

from what i know the 5-2 flash has to do with the clock spring. Any issues with the airbag system need to be looked at. When the light flashes there is a short, and that could cause an issue with random airbags going off or them not going off when you need them. Another sign of the clockspring going bad is the horn either not working or randomly not working. If you dont know what your doing have a shop handle it.
