Default Stupid blinking Idiot light

I'm a 54 y/o 1994 F150 2 wheel drive 4.9L 308.000-mile Extended XLT cab driver. I really love my truck!
I am currently having issues with my Blinking Idiot light in the dash above the steering wheel

It blinks 1 or 2 on, then 3 off, and looks like a seatbelt in the graphic. What is it telling me? Thank you for your help!

Those pics are grainy. Can you post a pic of your actual dash with the light on? Or it its flashing, record a video and put it on Youtube and link it here.

Found a clearer picture..... Is it the yellow icon on the right that is blinking? 2 then 3 = 23 which from quick google search indicates Rear Air Bag Sensor and Bracket Circuit Input Feed/Return Circuit Open. Not sure where its located.

Further reading in here for you. This link includes info on sensor locations and what the codes mean. Good luck.

Next time, maybe try reading the owner's manual. It explains what the indicators mean. It's easier to search a digital one than a paper one, so download the closest year available free from Ford:
