Re: ford air bag non-deployment
Posted by Elaina Daoust on 8/14/08

    I am about to fight with Ford right now, my airbag light has
    continued to come on in my car over the past coule years and i have
    had it checked by Ford several times, they have told me it's an
    electrical problem and turned it off. it comes back on a month or so
    later always. I just took the car for a different problem to a
    friend/mechanic who noticed the airbag light on, he ran tests and
    two codes poped up, CTCB1994 or B1998, apparently Ford 2001+2004
    Escape vehicles may exhibit the air bag warning lamp, different
    problems cause this but there is a repair kit for this that needs to
    be done, the part name is Connector Repair Kit- 1L8Z-14A411-A, Ford
    is aware of this problem!!! This is some body harness pigtail part,
    i wont pretend to know what that means, but i trust my mechanic. if
    this light is on the airbag will not deploy. What irks me the most
    is now my truck is past the warranty, how convenient. Not sure how
    the outcome is going to be but i think it would be in their best
    interest to fix it rather than get sued later down the road should
    an accident occur and they knew the problem existed and didn't fix
    it!
