#20 of 22 02 V6 XLS AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHING by raa1 Sep 29, 2009 (4:03 pm)
Hello, anyone had problems with the Airbag light flashing on and off for about a minute then staying on while driving. Sometimes it stays on while driving for weeks only to go off by itself and stay off for a couple of weeks. The patern repeats itself all the time. Help please!

Replying to: raa1 (Sep 29, 2009 4:03 pm) Two things that come to mind from personal experience. 1) If you travel without a passenger in the front seat but set stuff down there (i.e purse, bag, lunch box, lap top, etc) the OPDS (Occupant Position Detection Sensor) thinks there is a small child or a passenger lighter then 60lbs in the passenger seat without a seat belt. 2) I know that on my 2004 Escape Limited there was a recall done pertaining to the SRS light flashing or staying on back in 2004 or 2005. The fix was as simple as intalling a believe a new connector underneath the seat. Hope this helps. Replies to this message: raa1 (Sep 30, 2009 8:15 am)
