Dan Lewis Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hi, I have a 1997 Mk4 1.3 Ford fiesta. I have a problem where sometimes the airbag light flashes. There is no pattern when this happens. I was told it could be the sensor in the seat? Has anyone had this problem or know of a resolution. Thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 To be honest I think you should seek professional advice on that. If there is a fault with the airbag and it deployed whilst driving could be dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Lewis Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 I just checked, and it is four flashes. Which is to do with the seatbeat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 perhaps the connection under the seat? When in the car with the seatbelt on try and lift yourself off the seat and see if the sensor creates a warning. also, do you have any large shopping bags on the passenger seat? This can make the car thing there is a passenger in the car Thats if it is the seatbelt warning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Lewis Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 I was reading on the internet, that you have to unplug the yellow cable under the seat, as this is suppose to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 that will probably disable the airbag for the passenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caswellsam Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 i had a similar problem on an escort i had a few years back . . . they apparently have a airbag sensor behind the steering wheel which is held in place by a plastic bracket . . . the idea is that if you crash the plastic snaps and the airbag deploys . . . i believe the sensor on mine had shorted out so it thought the airbag had been used . . . . .
