My airbag lights is flashing on my 90 SHO. It'll flash 6 times than stop, than flash 6 times and stop and so on.
Can anyone tell me what this means or might mean?

Thanx for any info.

I asked that question a while back, I didn't get any responses either. First off ,what year, and do you cruise control and horn still work? If not, my guess is you have a bad clockspring. It's a round thing that is behind the wheel inside the column. Sounds to me like it's a PITA to replace, but I could be wrong.

it's a 90 that I haven't even driven yet. So I don't know if the cruise control works. And I have't even thought of trying the horn, so I'm not sure.

That would be the clock spring...

turn the car on, and turn the wheel back and fourth a few times. Turn the car off. Then back on. It should stop the flashing. If it dosent, repeat.

I dont like messing with air bags on cars.... :oogle: i got :slap: with one before... and i was about 6'' away from it... :doh:

always check out shotimes they have a lot of useful info and if you go messing with your airbag for the love of god make sure you disconnect the batt for at least 20 mins
