blinking air bag light..

[FlaSho]

Before I bought my 97 SHO, it took a light hit to the nose which caused me to replace the entire header panel, fender and hood. I DID reconnect the air bag sensors on the front, but I get a constant blinking Air bag light still.

any ideas?

Thanks.

not trying to steal or hijack your thread but my 1993 is doing this as well.

When the airbag light blinks it is trying to give you a code. I know the Gen 2 uses a two digit number, not sure about the Gen 3. Count the number of times it blinks and post the code.

i can't speak for the gen III since i've not had that problem, but my 95 started blinking at me once, so i pulled the bulb out of the dash. well, then the airbag computer started beeping at me. so i unplugged it, and now, no more problems!

Dont quote me, but I believe you may have to replace the air bag module also. If the car is in an accident, the module detects this and has to be replaced as well. did the airbags go off?

Count the flashes.

4,5 is the code

4,5 is the code

45 - LH or center crash sensor not mounted to vehicle properly or ground circuit open

Ok will do..brb

How do i re-mount it, i took it off when i change the radiator and took out the one for the a/c. I put it back on properly does it have to be grounded better or something.

Ok, it blinks four times and then keeps repeating....

Whats that mean?
