My 2000 Lincoln Towncar's AirBag Dash light comes on when I statr the car, if flashes 3 times then 6 times (it does that a couple of times and then just "Stays On" ... I cannot presently locate data to direct me to the error. If it was a "Module" that needed re-setting that wouldn't be a major problem, however, I would hate doing that annd finding out that wasn't the problem. The car hasn't been involved in any type of impact. It all of a sudden just came on... I have removed the battery cables "Hoping" that it would erase the Code or something??? Just a try!

Has anyone had that problem??? What should I do?? I'm a marginal mechanic for many, many years, a very good "part replacer" etc...

The car has only 38,000 miles on it and is in "NEW" condition...

Thank you all and God Bless Everyone In Jesus' Name... John Pen at:

It's not the moduel!

My 2000 had the same issue exactly as your's.

I moved the seat all the way forward and up, then checked and pushed the harness connections into place.

Started the car and light the airbag light went OUT.

Must be from seat moving back and forth when you get in and leave the vehicle that caused a loose connection.

It's all good now.

Phu imagine the dealer price to fix it would be?

Hope this helped.

All the best.
