mine just started doing that too. flashes 4 then 5. sometimes it stops then starts flashing again. i could use some help too.

Kelly, the # of times the airbag light flashes corresponds to the fault code it's sending you. I can't remember where I saw the printout of codes, but you might try a google search. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Kelly, I did a quick search, but this is all I found, It may be a starting point:
I found this in another Enthusiats forum. The link is http://www.ford-truc...ex.php/t-169332

One more thing, Kelly; the four then five indicated your Bronc is sending you a #45 code. In any case your airbags will not deploy when they are faulting like that.
