The Ford repair manuals state you are supposed to remove the airbag fuse and positive battery cable BEFORE removing the seats to prevent a possible air bag implosion or seat belt latch then re-insert in a certain sequence to reset the SRS (suplimental restraint system).

Check your owners manual for the SRS fuse; pull it, disconnect the positive battery cable, wait 15 seconds, re-install cable, re-install fuse, turn key to on. It should be cleared. This would also be the method used to remove the seats: remove fuse, disconnect battery positive cable, remove seats, then install seats, fuse, and positive battery cable.

If it continues to flash a code, you broke something; I'd suspect the seat belt catch; check the seat wiring connections to the seat belat catch to verify tight connections.

Always follow proceedures such as the above to prevent false codes.

fyi the code chart IN THIS THREAD IS DEAD WRONG. I talked to a ford mechanic friend who looked up the code on his ford mechanic site(no public access for obvious reasons) my code 33 was for the driver side tensioner on the seat belt. I Scavenged the old one off from my cloth driver seat and replaced. NOW NO CODE!!!!!!!

So to anyone who buys a set of used seats from a wrecked truck make sure to ask or verify that the seat belt tensioner charge has not went off during the accident, otherwise you will need to swap/replace it. I think the passenger side was fine since there must not have been someone sitting in the seat when the accident occurred.

Any ways SO happy with my new Leather seats. They look and feel great~!

fixed mine its was a code 16 but could not find anything on it.. so I went out to the truck... looked under the seats and find that I did not reinsert one small connection on the pass side.. all is good now... thats what I get for working on my truck with a friend and 24 Budweiser hahahahahahaha

Ok everyone... I haven't been on here in about 5 1/2 months. I know... shame on me!. Anyway, I got so busy with so many other things that I have been ignoring the airbag light ever since I posted rhis thread. However, since you guys have given me some options to a possible cure, I'll go give it a shot and report back a little later. Promise I won't wait 5 1/2 months to respond again.
Thanks F150 Kings!

I just put the seats from a 2012 FX4 into my 2013 XLT and now my airbag light is on. It does not flash a code it comes on when I turn the the key for a few seconds turns off then comes on and stays on. Now what? Where do I start with no code.

From what I could find it is the dash light above the radio. Any idea how to fix this. I do not see a problem with it.
