I took my car out for a drive tonight and on my way home the air bag warning light began blinking and continued to do so the whole way home. I did some google searching and all the posts I could find were about the "code 32" which blinks three times pauses blinks three times and pauses repeatedly. Mine is not doing this though, mine blinks once every five seconds exactly. I've never had a problem with the clock spring..all functions work as they should on my steering wheel (horn, cruise control etc.). I didn't try shutting it off and restarting or unhooking the battery at all to reset it as its getting late and don't feel like f*cking with it right now. Anyone know which code this is?

Hm I'm still confused how to tell what code mine is throwing..mine blinks once every 5 seconds repeatedly. How do you translate that to the codes you posted. Thanks for the replies btw.
 
That does seem rather odd and sadly I haven't been able to find any reference to that kind of air bag code.

My BA Mark has had code 32 for quite some time now and I haven't been able to get to the source of it. Some suggest the clock spring, but everything works fine on the steering wheel. Others say some weight sensor in the driver seat. :confused:
 
Well I didn't do any further investigating..I unhooked battery cables for 10 min or so the other day and it hasn't flashed since..so oh well we'll see if it does it again.
