theres a fault in the air bag system so now its disabled. The flash code can be counted to come up with a number such as 2 flashes, pause 3 flashes, long pause = flash code 23. It can help you understand what is at fault like your clock spring in your column or a faulty crash sensor circut.

I have a 97 Ranger that is doing the same thing. The right side of the front bumper is pushed in pretty far so I am assuming that the sensor on that side has tripped?

That ones prolly under the dash. One of those little suckers. BUT , I have NO idea besides that. I would go with the info that previous posters offered after checking the fuses..

Every connector is was locked together with muck. Can't power wash it - The spickets are still froze. The alternator is fried. I gave up on it for now - She has my truck

Those kids are nutts - She took vids with her phone. A kid w/ranger lost his serp belt out their . Kept running it back and forth in the mud until it quit. An F250 hooked up to the ranger and about 15 people piled into the ranger - They took turns getting whipped around in the mud in that little truck. The wheels were even locked up in the ranger . That F250 diesel tossed that little thing around in the mud like a rag doll !!

There out in Pinckney..

I'll post picks of her tombstone if she even thinks about doing something like that with my truck.

It must have been a stick - so many people in the cab , they prolly hit the shifter. Yea it was F250 diesel whipping them around. It's all on video on her phone - but we can't transfer to the computer - No peripheral plug-in.
