|  96 xlt airbag problems
So today I was on my way to work when i noticed my airbag sensor blink for a minute or two then go off for a few minutes then stay lit up. i went to autozone and they said to fix the airbag sensor it would be around 1,500. Now i am not going to attempt to mess with the wiring or the sensors. I am debating 1 of 2 things 1. getting it fixed or 2. getting a new truck. But my truck is a 1996 XLT 3.0 v6 4 spd auto with 101,345 on it now see the hard part is that the mileage is low for that year/model so any advice would be helpful thanks. Also I am not driving the truck because I dont want some ass whose not paying attention to send me into a pole with no airbags. In the meantime im driving my girlfriends 1995 explorer. any advice would be greatly appreciated. |

Count the blinks and it will give you a code. The air bag module may be bad and I highly doubt it is a sensor since they consist of a magnet and steel marble but it doesnt hurt to check their connections. Go to a Junkyard and get a used airbag computer module, cheaper than new.

I don't get it why people always expect a old vehicle that breaks down to always be covered under some warranty? If your exhaust tip is larger than your cylinder bore, then you are a Ricer.
