Air bag light on

[BANGERSTANGER76]

Guys I got an air bag light on.
We have terrible roads here and I hit a big bump last month.
The damn air bag light now flickers on and off.
I cant figure it out. Any help is appreciated.


Thanks

Clock spring. It's behind the air bag. It's a known issue with these cars. If you steering wheel is crappy looking now's the time to replace it with a new wheel or FR500 wheel.

Here, I've done the search. I even had a thread on here about this back in 2005.

While the clockspring is likely the issue, you CAN pull airbag codes and see what the actual error is. The airbag system will throw codes if it finds "high resistance" on any connector; I had an airbag light go off after disconnecting and reconnecting the connector under the steering column.

This link will give you all the possible codes, along with directions on where the airbag connector is and how to retrieve & clear the codes:

The instructions imply you have to pull the glove box to get to the connector, but that's not true. You can reach it from underneath the glove box, it's a gray connector with three prongs.

If you search my name, I have a thread on it's location and how to pull the codes. Also, I think someone posted a picture of the connector in the thread, too.
