Air bag light stays on

[TBIRD II]

I was scheduled to pick up my car today at 11am, but the dealer called me to tell me the car would not be ready because they can't get the airbag light to go off.

I noticed it yesterday when I went in to do the paperwork, and thus far they can't figure out how to make it go out.

Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Sorry, missed it.

I had the problem recently with my wife's Passat and it was a minor electrical problem, nothing to do with the air bag. My wife was concerned she was going to be driving down the street and the bag would deploy!!!

I have also heard stories where the bag needed to be re-packed/replaced.

TBIRD2: I had the same problem on our new TBird. The dealer fixed it the next morning -- a defective electrical component.

Raida,

I don't think I have you in the database, at least not as Raida, please see my post "VINs/Dates/Destinations II". Thanks.

jodrod: You have all my info recorded. I don't remember the VIN right now (57??). Good Job!!! We will be in St. Pete and environs the end of February. If you see Wisper White (no hard top -- we will leave it home)with Michigan license plate framed with dealer Molloy Ford, New Hampshire, holler at me -- tell me about good restaurants, etc. Jim

Ok, thanks. If you emailed me the data I probably have you listed with your email name.
