pym Member 332 Member For: 21y 10m Location: Sydney, Australia Posted 23/01/06 11:40 AM Share Posted 23/01/06 11:40 AM Folks,Has anyone else experienced continous issues with their Airbag system ?....Mine has just faulted again for the 7th time (over the past 2 years). It was only supposedly just fixed at my last service 60k 2 weeks ago.The last 3 occasions, the dealer has indicated that they have added a new earthing strap....3 times ? which I find a little suspect.What does one do now ?....I'm frustrated in having to take it to a dealer each time....Can I hassle Ford direct ?...What are my options to try and get a satisfactory resolution...Thanks for any help guys.

Posted 23/01/06 06:49 PM Share Posted 23/01/06 06:49 PM The wds unit they use should pick up the fault.Besides a couple of sensors there is the air bags themselves,the clock spring in the sterring and the seat belts.Ian Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/22860-airbag-system/#findComment-338943 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ford W*nkers said the computer pointed to the drivers side, side airbag (which is not fitted) wiring loom which connects under the driver seat, probably a bad connection. They too have attempted to fix it on many occasions but without any success.I guess we can only live in hope!Good luck Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/22860-airbag-system/#findComment-338955 Share on other sites More sharing options...
