AirBag Light When turning right
#4
Next time you get home, leave the engine idling & find the EXACT spot that makes the light come on. Hold the wheel exactly there while you turn the key off, then back on (you don't have to crank the engine). That should set the code that will make the light flash. Count the flashes to form a 2-digit code, then search up the LFC (light-flash code) list that has been posted here.
These pics, diagrams, & their captions show how to get into the column & change the clock spring if you need to.

Not at all. Most vehicles still flash the two digit LFC when an SRS fault is detected.
However, the scan tool may be needed as some of the LFCs are not specific enough to perform a pinpoint diagnosis. A reminder that if a scan tool is need, the el-cheapos from the auto parts store won't cut it.

I cannot locate the code list. Can you be more specific about the location? THANKS!

Put your vehicle's year & model in your profile or your signature.
The official Ford name for the part is "airbag sliding contact", and it's a VERY common replacement part. They go bad OFTEN, so all the dealers have plenty of them, and many aftermarket companies are carrying them, too.
I haven't had to buy one yet, but several people on FSB & CVN have.
