I recently noticed the airbag light on my instrument cluster seems to have a ghost back lighting. It completes the normal startup with the orange warning light extinguishing, however it remains this white ghost light. I tried adjusting the brightness of the display and it has limited effect on the airbag light ghost effect. The ford service guy says this is normal and I must have missed it. Is this normal?

 

Kinda looks like the traction light there is back lighted as well. Might be normal, but doesn't look good. Kinda strange.

 

I have never noticed that on mine.

 

Either the gauge piece isn't fit snug to prevent light bleed, or you are getting a very strong reflection off the plastic that is shining back on the airbag. I don't know that it is ideal, but it shouldn't impact functionality of anything.

 

I'd have to agree with vulnox. I bet there is a bulb socket or led for the speedo that is loose behind there and bleeding light.
