One of the impact sensers probably went bad.....
You're going have to take it to someone who can diagnose air bag issues....

Yes, and NO

When you first start the truck the light should flash in a sequence... count the flashes (watch for short and long pauses) and then post them on here.

The sequence tells you which sensor is bad.

I had this happen last summer. Turned out it was the driver seat belt was giving a faulty warning to the airbag computer. I believe there is a pyrotechnic inside the seatbelt that forces the seatbelt to lock and that is what was not functioning correctly. They replaced the seatbelt and it worked. The work was actually done under warranty because the truck was under 50k. Appearanlty the airbag warranty goes for more miles than the standard warranty.

I can't find a 24 in the LFC (lamp fault code). I assume you got this number from the flashing airbag light...

I had air air bag light. Turned out it was the very front air bag sensor bolted in front of radiator. The winter salt had corroded it to the extent of it brakeing apart.... Was $50 part at dealer and took all of 2 mnutes to install.
