Hi,

I have a 1990 GT with a flashing air bag light. I have heard that it is flashing a code, but others say that isn't a thing and it just simply means the air bag system simply isn't working - likely due to a bad crash sensor. The car comes out of winter storage soon so I was going to check for codes again, and if there are none was going to try my luck with new sensors likely from eBay. Is it just the two up front?

While speaking of dash lights, I also have a coolant light on. Not constantly, just occasionally. I changed the level sensor but it didn't help and coolant level is good. Is this likely just a bad wire somewhere?

Thanks!

I am going to say it is the air bag module as that is almost always the problem with the clock spring being a far far far distant second. Go here for airbag diagnostics:

I am not going to be much help on the coolant light issue as my Coupe does not have that.

The air bag does blink in a sequence that indicates a code. It can also constantly blink. See above post for diagnostic tips in the link
