I'm new here and I was wondering if one of you grease monkeys could offer me some help. I'm getting an airbag trouble code of 32 it's something about a Safing Sensor Circuit-High Resistance. What exactly does that mean?

It's usually the wiring harness under the driver's seat. I think it's yellow.

I checked that and it seems plugged all the way in. the wires look good. Should i start testing voltages.. can i safely check that without the airbag deploying on me??

Could be the wiring harness or the clockspring. Probably best to let the dealership at least diagnose it for you.

hmmm a clock spring... would that have anything to do on why my steering wheel controls are behaving strangly. up is down down is down on the volume. have to turn the cruise off to set it and what not.

I'll install a new clockspring and let you know how it goes.. is the repair manual a dealer part only also?

I think the factory manuals are available from Helm. You can get less detailed cdroms from ebay pretty cheap but they may not have everything you need.

I'm getting code 32. I have no steering wheel feature issues and the yellow plug seems to have all it's wires intact. What's next? (grin)
