Hey there,
I just got me a momo steering wheel the other day and was following the tech doco on how to change steering wheels on ef/el. Now all is well except for the little airbag plug. I can't manage to clip it back in at all. Anybody know if there's any technique to it? Thanks!! -del |

It's been a few weeks since I had mine off, but are the pins inside the plug bent or anything? You are pushing it on hard enough? |

Shouldnt need to push on it hard at all, If your pushin hard theres something wrong and u r probably bending pins. Believe me ive had my s/wheel off about 30 times in the last 6 months....

check your reverse light fuse mate,
if it's blown or has been removed your airbag light will be on. cheers paul |

Thanks for the help so far guys,
Ok checked the reverse light fuse, and there was a 15A fuse in there, i thought it was meant to be a 10A fuse. So i changed it to a 10A fuse and the aribag light is flashing like this: Flash-Flash-Pause-Flash-Flash-Flash-Flash-Flash And this keeps on repeating while car is on and stationery. |

mine was doing that when i picked it up from the dealer. the sent it into the auto elec and he said it is a common problem after a knock in the front end or if some wiring has been moved.

This sometimes happens after disconnecting the airbag. You basically need to reset the code for the airbag. A guy by the name of JC on fordforums.com.au has documented this, and it's a fairly quick fix and will clear your codes. |

Thanks for that horis,
Ok in the tech doco it says this: Code Clearing # 1) Switch the Ignition On # 2) Allow the Code to be Displayed. # 3) Apply a Short Circuit to the Airbag Memory Clear Pin of the Diagnostic Connector to Ground (See above Picture for further details). # 4) The Code will be cleared after 5 Beeps have sounded. Repeat the Above untill all the required codes have been Cleared. Now in step 3 it says apply a short circuit to the airbag memory clear to ground. What exactly does this mean? Do i need to connect a wire from that pin to the body of the car? Sorry for the n00b question, -del |

Ok I followed the tech doco on how to clear the codes.
I didn't get any of the 5 beeps. If anyone is willing to help me I will drive to you because I'm sick of this airbag light in my face all the time!!! Thanks!! -del |
