My airbag light began to come on about three weeks ago. It does not blink, it just remains solid. For a while, it went away, then it came back. Then it went away again. And now its back for good.
A solid airbag light if I understand correctly means that there is loss of power to the RCM module. Meaning the airbags will not deploy if I get into an accident.
When it first occurred, I cleaned the connectors under both seats and it went away. But this must not be the cause of the issue, because I tried cleaning it again, but now its back for good.
I checked two fuses:
Fuse #31 10A Restraints Control Module (RCM)
Fuse #46 7.5A Passenger airbag deactivation indicator (PADI), Occupant classification sensor (OCS)
neither of them were blown
I'm leaning towards a faulty RCM module. Any other things I should try before giving up and bringing it into the dealer? :shrug:
This mustang is my daily driver, and I really would like to fix it at home. Every time I bring the car into the dealership, I feel like it goes in for one problem, and comes out with three others.
