If the air bag light is blinking 5 1 on a 1995 Ford Contour how do you fix it?

Answer 1

Ever hear the expression "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing?" No truer words were ever spoken if referring to air bags. For a list of codes and meanings, see http://www.contour.org/FAQ/FAQ.php?s=probs&displayid=29. Your problem may only be a fuse. Keep in mind that if you set off an air bag (and don't injure yourself in the process) expect a hefty repair bill. Insurance companies will sometimes write off an older car involved in a minor collision because the air bag went off, whereas otherwise they would repair it. In my locale, I could expect to pay $1000 for a professional replacement. Good luck.
