Ever couple of days for last two weeks the air bag light starts flashing. I counted the flashes and looked them up. Its a 36 LFC which is a short in the drivers side side-airbag. If I do nothing but keep using the vehicle and keep swapping the driving with my wife, the flashing and the fault go away.
I bribed (wo six packs of Harp) a friend that is a ford master tech to bring over the shop's portable scanner and it does not show a hard fault code.
So it looks like I have the dreaded seat air bag connector problem. I have no time to waste on this as it is the only running vehicle in the family right now, (my Stang Gt interior is out to replace the rotting carpet + seat cover+ new alarm and the pathfinder cracked the radiator the other day).
my buddy the tech said he heard about this before and there was repair kit for the connectors, but did not remember the part number for it.
does anyone know the number for these connector repair kits?
I have used the ones for the fan connectors and headlight wiring kits in other fords, so it would not be that much of a stretch for me.
