Another Air Bag Issue

[greyute]

Have airbag light flashing code 32 and was wondering what to do to fix it and whats it going to cost for parts? I think it is a faulty clock spring? Correct me if im wrong. Thanks in advance...

If its the clock spring, they are about 175 from ford new.

You will also notice that the steeringwheel controls dont work (if your clock spring is stuffed).

Have you checked the plugs underneath your seats, sometimes they get a bit of moisture in them and make the airbag light come on.

Steering wheel controls working fine and have disconnected and reconnected both plugs under seats and still getting light flashing code 32.

I havent got my workshop manuals handy to see what code 32 is as im not at home...

Does the light stay on all the time even though it will flash after startup?

Mine did this, and i foundout that water was leaking in the car from where the pedals and steering column go through the firewall, and since ive poked around underthere it hasnt come on since.

I know when my clock spring was buggered, i had no steering wheel controls working, so unless someone else has a workshop manual handy and can look up what that code means, you might just have to have a bit of a look in there, maybe give the plugs another look over and a clean and see how that goes.

Dont worry, the airbag wont go off while you are driving it.

Yer light stays on after it goes through the sequence 3 times. I think code 32 is Driver Airbag Circuit -Open Circuit

Ha-ha I wasn't to concerned about the airbag going of but it dose get you thinking when you see that light on. Could get veery interesting if it were the case though!

Mine did this just recently, code 32, turned out to be the clock spring, new one and alls good.
