air bag light - HELP PLEASE!!!
New to forum, so please excuse any blunders. I have a '97 with an air bag light blinking 4 times then 1 time, then going solid. I've read enough posts to know this is a code. Any help with this? Is there any place on line to find these codes? Also can I reset it in any way to see if that works? Thanks!

41 RH air bag sensor feed/return circuit open
first thing to check is if your passenger air bag is plugged in. then look for a broken wire for the air bag in the glove box area.
anymore then this and you would have to do a deactivation procedure to safely test with a multi-meter.

air bag light
Mr. Bentwrench,
Thank you!! Sure enough, I found a corroded (broke) wire just outside the RH crash sensor behind the bumper. Fixed it and the light went away. I appreciate your help!

Possible Causes for code 52 low or loss of battery voltage at the air bag diagnostic monitor
WARNING: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SUBSTITUTE ANOTHER FUSE VALUE FOR THE 10A BATTERY FUSE 2. ANY FUSE OTHER THAN 10A MAY CAUSE DISARMING FAILURE AND MAY RESULT IN DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE.
NOTE: If a short to ground exists on any of circuits 607 (LB/O), 614 (GY/O), 615 (GY/W), or 616 (PK/BK), 1112 (W/LB), 1113 (Y/LG), leading to a LFC 13 or 53 and DTC B1913 or similarly a short to ground exists on any of circuits 617 (PK/O), 619 (PK/W), 624 (Y/W) or 625 (Y/LG) leading to a LFC 14 or 54 and DTC B1914 the air bag diagnostic monitor will activate an internal solid state switch at pin C209-13 of the air bag diagnostic monitor. This causes the battery fuse 2 (10A) to blow, thus disarming the air bag system and preventing inadvertent air bag deployment. If the power distribution box battery fuse 2 has blown, it must be replaced by a 10A fuse.
Low voltage at air bag diagnostic monitor pin C209-14, circuit 937 (R/W), can be caused by:
An open in the battery circuit that would prevent battery positive voltage (B+) from reaching the air bag diagnostic monitor pin C209-14, circuit 937 (R/W).
A short to ground on the battery feed circuit between the fuse 2 (10A) and pin C209-13, circuit 937 (R/W), or pin C209-14, circuit 937 (R/W), of the air bag diagnostic monitor.
A concern in the charging system causing battery voltage to drop below 8 volts.
