Hey guys, my airbag light has been blinking since my rebuild. It's code 32.

I have a suspicion that nothing is actually wrong with it, but I can't find the reset procedure anywhere. I read on newer stangs you can jump a connector under the dash to reset it. Can you do something similar on the fox?

'93 coupe GT

Thanks!
Jason

Code 32 in the air bag system is a high resistance in the air bag system. Most likely cause is a broken clock spring (SIR coil) in the column. My guess is you had the column or steering unhooked and turned the steering wheel. Easy fix.

If the horn also doesn't work the most likely cause is a broken clockspring. Not uncommon and often age-related.

Thanks guys, I'll check it out.

Is there a way to reset the airbag light if it's not that?

Update: My horn works fine. Any known procedures on how to reset air bag light?

I'm pretty certain the horn is completely separate. You cannot reset the light. It is a current code.

There is no reset, I just changed out my Airbag Diagnostic Monitor a few weeks ago.

I actually never unhooked the steering column. I was under the dash replacing a master cylinder, but I don't think i broke anything.

Is there a way to test for a bad clockspring? They are a little pricey and I have about 10 other pricey things that need to be replaced.

Thanks!

Hey guys, the light is still blinking. Although now it is code 31: All system air bags open. At least that is what code 31 is for a '92.

Anyone have any ideas what to check? Would this still be a clockspring issue?

YES. Or if you unplugged it under the dash at the base of the column.
