I forgot to mention it it a 92 aerostar and the horn stoped working too and it is raining too much to check the fusees

don't have the code chart- but where the horn also doesn't work, i'd suspect the wiring contact device that's under the steering wheel. did the steering wheel or linkage recently get worked on? If it was turned too far it could have ripped the wiring. > I forgot to mention it it a 92 aerostar and the horn stoped working > too and it is raining too much to check the fusees

I know this may be hard to believe, but my 93 Aerostar's Air Bag warning light was flashing last week. The sequence was 3, then ??. (I didn't know how to interpret the flashes, so didn't count carefully. It went away next time I started the van.) If someone can post the error codes, I'm sure several of us would appreciate it.

googling gives info that a 32 airbag fault code means an incomplete circuit. On the one where the horn and cruise control also stopped working- it's almost certainly the slip-ring or "clockspring" wiring connector under the steering wheel. The Haynes manual shows a pic of it on the page about removing the wheel. a 31 code- didn't see it listed. If it's actually the reverse, and a 13, that is the airbag module is shorted to ground. Which might be the same clockspring problem but one of the broken wires is touching something perhaps. the listing i turned up= http://groups.google.com/groups?q=aerostar+airbag+fault+code+13&hl=en&lr=&ie =UTF-8&safe=off&selm=3D5DA054.1127462%40inetnebr.com&rnum=1 the info came from a taurus sho website, but found the same list at on a ford aspire site. that said, It did not say anywhere that it is the correct list for xx year Aerostar so verify. Call the dealer, maybe around 8:30 am when they are still in doughnut and coffee mode, and will talk instead of telling you to bring it in.. clockspring is around a c note, changes easily, but you need a steering wheel puller. And disconnect the battery and let car sit for half-hour before removing airbag. > Hello Charles & Jim, > It almost sounds like we need to start up our own > club with all this airbag flashing crap going on.
