Default Air bag code 13 and Only one hazard light works

Hi all! I’ve got a 94 f150 xlt 4wd throwing a 13 airbag code. Took it to someone who said the module is “fried” and the part is discontinued. Also, only the front right hazard light is working. All signals do work. Any thoughts? This truck has 58k original miles. I’ve obviously got some electrical issues to sort. This beeping will drive me to sell it if I can’t figure this out. Thanks in advance!

How did this person determine that the airbag module is fried?

If it's beeping, you can't read the codes. If you read code 13, it shouldn't be beeping. Code 13 doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the module. It sounds like this "someone" doesn't know much (if anything) about the airbag system in these trucks. Read this page:

You should put ALL your truck's details & history (as much as you know) into your signature so it shows with each post, as this page explains:

Phone apps don't always show signatures, so you may need to switch to a real browser in desktop mode on your phone, or just use a desktop/laptop computer. Put your location (nearest city) in your profile &/or signature, & upload an avatar of the truck. The more pics you post (NOT in your sig) of the truck, engine, wiring, labels, & undercarriage, the more likely we can help you. Not all its details are relevant to these issues, but you don't necessarily know which ones are relevant, so just put everything in now.

Apologies on the lack of info. I’m new to the site. I’ll get the info and post it. I do appreciate your time. (And yes, I got hosed by the repair shop). The truck was throwing a 14 code (as indicated on the number of flashes on the dash. Now it’s 13 with awful beeping. I paid someone 135$ to tell me wrong info and they didn’t fix anything.

Howdy all! Let’s try this again with more info. Still have an air bag code of 13 and the requisite buzzer that goes with it. I’ve got more of my truck info in my signature. Was told by a local repair shop that my air bag module was friend and he showed me a pic of it. It was a little brown and burned looking on one edge, but that doesn’t add up to the code. Truck has just rolled over 59k miles. Two different Ford dealers have refused to service or work on the truck because it is “older than 10 years old”. (Makes no sense to me). I need any help y’all can give or pointers to the right direction. Im in NE Georgia about 30 minutes north of Gainesville. Im also attaching a pic of my door sticker for additional info if needed. Many thanks from an old mountain man who loves this body style.

Here is the info from the door panel for my truck. New to this world, so trying to give as much info as I can so someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Good luck chasing this down, Ain’t Woke! Based on what I have read on this site, the beeping is not supposed to happen unless something goes wrong with the flashing light. That being said, my truck did the same thing back when the airbag problem first started. I have no idea how that can happen, since it isn’t designed that way, but I can definitely say that the light was flashing and the beeping was going on at the same time. After a good while, the beeping stopped but the light kept flashing. It is still flashing, but I am beginning to get motivated to see if I can fix it.
