Airbag light, no horn, no code, no cig sockets. Help!

[mustang_jr+]

The craptastic ford cig lighter socket fell apart and shorted out.

Since then I have no airbag, airbag light, but no code according to OBDII.
I have no horn, and no cig sockets (by the shifter or in the middle of the console.)

Any idea? I checked all the fuses and they seem fine.

I checked the airbag fuse and it isn't blown.

I'm going to go out right now and re-pull all the fuses...

Turns out the guy I got the car from was lazy.

High amp box, he has 30's for 20A, 25 for 10A
Man I had to re-buy almost all the fuses to get it correct.

Got it all spec, now it's just the airbad, a clock spring replacement.

Thanks to all those who put this info up on stangnet!
Sure to have saved me a ton of money from the dealer!

the air bag horn concern is most liikley the clockspring like you said.

Thanks again, you guys saved me a load of cash as I am in NYC and it costs $500 to get anything done.

cool.. well keep us posted. it's really common for the clockspring to do this..

just curious, who on here told you or did you figure it out, I noticed no posts to this.

I did a search for "no horn" and "airbag light" and a link to HERE showed up: http://www.veryuseful.com/mustang/tech/airBag/airBag95.html

From the lack of cruis control, the airbag light, and no horn, I guessed it was the clock spring.

However, I have yet to find a part number for the sn95 system.

Anyone can help?

 

[Mike97gt]

well glad the search feature helped you out

Man, I can't even find the part number off the motorcraft site.

It must be one of those parts they don't like selling to people.. hehe.

Ford parts guy:
"No, please let us do it. We're certified.Really!!
Don't buy the part! you'll die! people will die!"

Me: "Um. No. I only want to spend $70. I own tools
and have two hands."

Ford parts guy: "You'll void any warranty you might."

Me: "It's a 96. I'll risk it."

(anything to do with airbags is probably an instant $1000 fee)

search for clockspring and the 3 types pop up
95'-98' $99.95

I checked my ford cd and only found that they consider the airbag unit as a whole, clockspring attached. So no luck on the #, unless im mistaken and its called the air bag sliding contact, #14A664.

the CD is for a 98'
