airbag light on ford escort 1997 flashing
2 Answers
my p reg 1997 ford escort 1.8 lx has an airbag light that flashes. the pattern is x4 then a pause then it repeats this pattern. i have tried disconnecting battery for about 30mins to reset but this didn't cure it. i presume it is a loose connection or dodgy wire as it doesn't flash everyday and is worse in the winter months. any suggestions on where to look or how to cure would be great.

If you have tried the 2 connectors (1 under each seat)
And that did not cure it (it also did not for me)
So I tried swapping the 2 pretensioner units
This also made no difference
So I decided to find the controller unit so I could see if its connector was ok
But sadly it�s not shown were it fitted in the workshop repair book
So I went to the local scrappy and followed the looms
Found one with the seats removed this helped
Removed the carpet
The loom starts at the passenger seat (UK cars) goes over to the drivers seat (under the centre console) and joins the loom from the drivers seat
Then as a pair the run down the side of the sill towards the front of the car behind the kick panel (next to accelerator pedal) and up behind the dash
But here�s the tip behind the kick panel is another plug and socket
Try cleaning that one it has now cured my flashing light
All the best
