Default Airbag light stays on

F150 XLT 2007 Screw. Everything I crank up my truck, the airbag light comes on in a blink of like 3 blinks... then it goes off for about 3-5 seconds, then blinks again for like 3 blinks... then it just stays lit.

Anybody got any ideas on whats going on, or if maybe I need to reset it somehow?

Thanks in advance

Excellent! Thanks for those codes JDM!! I'll check it out farther, but based on these codes, it may be a problem with the passenger side airbag current.
Thanks!

Great info, but how do you know which code unless you have it read. Anyone have link to decipher the blink counts/sequence?

Turn the key to on (do not start). The airbag symbol in the cluster will flash a number of times (count the times for first number)), pause, then flash again (count these times for the second number), then pause, then repeat this three times. For example, the the symbol flashes twice (2), pauses, then flashes five (5) times, pauses, then starts again with 2 flashes, then 5 flashes....your "code" is 25. Look this up in the provided link to see what your fault is.

Keep in mind that the link shows what is "common" for all vehicles; Ford has additional codes for additional components of their airbag system.

Most common are the drivers side belt latch, or the center console warning bulb(above the radio).

Count the flashes, post the code here if you need additional help.

ok so i check the connections and that didint fix it. i pulled the new passenger seat i installed out and plugged in the old original passenger. Stilll the same code! 33 is for passenger. is it possible it could be the driver side?

going to try swappping the old one back on and see if thats the fix.

Is it possible that i could just get this code cleared or will it more than likely come back?

Any help or suggestions?
