Ford Crown VictoriaThough they were what most people drove in the 1950s and 1960s, full-size cars like the Ford Crown Victoria are now an anomaly. But Ford's biggest sedan still offers significant virtues, including affordable V8 performance and room for six people. Today, the Crown Victoria's passenger and cargo volumes compare favorably against fashionable SUVs.
After removing the front passenger seat on the 06 Crown Vic, the airbag light in the dash blinks, then becomes solid. Does this need light need to be reset using an OBD tool or other method? The seat was removed with the battery disconnected and reinstalled before the battery was reconnected. Does this matter?
This Shouldn't make a difference, I'd imagine your air bags are fully functional. I think that is just a warning that the seat (or it thinks is not) isn't mounted right and air bag won't protect you as well, but this is a newer model so I'm not sure. But if it does worry you I'd take it in to a dealer.

I'm new to the board, but I'm a Ford Technician and might be able to help you out.
I'm at home right now, so I don't have everything at my fingertips, but I can tell you with 100% certainty that if your Air Bag lite is on, your air bags are NOT functional.
Off the top of my head, the problem could be a lack of battery power or open seat belt pretensioner circuit sensed by the Restraint Ctrl Module, or many vehicles have weight sensors in the pass seat (not sure about an 06 CV).
I could narrow it down if you let me know what code the lamp is flashing before going solid. It should flash out a 2 digit code several times before staying on permanently. It will be a series of flashes in quick succession, followed by a relatively short gap, then another set of flashes in quick succession, then a longer gap before repeating the process. Count the flashes and I could be more helpful.
Check the passenger air bag and or the passenger seat weight sensor connectors under the seat. Reconnect them again. The test/reset ignition off, remove the specified SRS fuses and or the battery for 5 minutes. I don't have the shop manual in bed with me...sorry.
Hey dude i have 02 taurus with a code 42 for the air bag any suggestions? I didn't crash it or hit anything. Where are the impact sensors and how many.
