View Full Version : Airbag light on. please help. badmonkey May 19 2007, 05:23pm Hello all. My airbag light is on in my 2003 ranger 3.0 and it comes on, then goes off and then comes on and blinks 7 times then stays on. Help please. rwenzing May 19 2007, 05:34pm Count the blinks again. All 2003 airbag flash codes have 2 different numbers such as 2-7 or 4-7. badmonkey May 19 2007, 06:51pm I recounted. It is 4-7. rwenzing May 19 2007, 08:42pm That is the code for incorrect resistance on the seatbelt pretensioner circuit (code 46 driver side, code 47 passenger side). It is a common problem and is usually caused by a poor connection under the seat. Turn off the ignition, open the connector, clean the pins and reassemble. Applying dielectric grease to the pins should make the repair last longer. In rare cases, the connector might need to be replaced. This may not apply but your Restraints Warranty lasts for 5/50,000 and this repair would be covered if you were within those limits. badmonkey May 19 2007, 09:35pm The drivers side seatbelt is assembled incorrectly. It does not go through the hole in the side like it should. don't know if that could cause it. they did it at th shop when i had stereo stuff installed. rwenzing May 20 2007, 04:41am Your code is for the passenger side belt pretensioner and it is for an electrical problem. The connector that is usually at fault is the under the passenger seat. badmonkey May 23 2007, 06:34pm Thanks RWENZIG, I unplugged the plugs under the seats and cleaned them and the light went off. Thanks alot. rwenzing May 23 2007, 07:37pm Any time. Glad you got it sorted out. mrunlucky07 May 24 2007, 06:12am Is there a site where all of the codes are all posted? Kaz May 24 2007, 08:04am i know the haynes manual does, but it varies by the year, IIRC. i may be wrong though... |
