I've been chasing an airbag light since I bought my '93 GT about 6 months ago. I'm on my 3rd used airbag module, have correct voltage going to the module, yet have either a 52 code or airbag light stays on continuously, depending on the module I've installed. Am I expecting too much out of ~30 year old circuit card assemblies?

Mines been on my 93 of for awhile. I found an article I wish I saved , it was how to wire a 95 clocksping to a Fox body .Since you can't get a new one( discontinued) I believe the clockspring is the common problem.

I removed the lamp, took out the sounder from the module, and lastly disconnected the airbag it self in the steering wheel (to make darn sure it would never go off in my face). We have state inspections in MA, and an airbag light is a fail. That was my fix.

87-89 tilt column swap, momo wheel and adapter with original ford horn button. Remove bulb.
That's the solution. Most of the foxes i've driven over the years were 90+, you don't realize how good the tilt column is until you have one.

And it can become a 'sticky' in the tech/how to forum.

Nickb, Does that number change make a big difference? Here are some photos. Maybe they interchange? I have never taken apart a Fox later airbag equipped steering wheel, so I don't know. I think when I first tried to sell this clockspring, I saw a lot of interchange numbers from the Ford sites..
I have a 91 LX and an 89 LX, not sure why now, but I like them both. The 89 has the tilt wheel and it was loose when I bought it. I think the former owner started beating on it and never bothered to tighten the clamp bolts.

George.
