Ford Fairmont BA, 2003, Airbag light stays on
I have a Ford Fairmont Ghia BA 2003 and lately the airbag light comes on and off with no pattern , just randomly. I have had it to an auto electrician but problem wasn’t found . The previous owner (92) did hit a concrete strip gently the last time she drove the car and I am wondering if this triggered the airbag light as she has told me that the light has never come on since 2003 when she bought the car new . Comments please and how do I get the airbag light to go off as I am worried because rego is due soon? Where would the sensor be located ? The car has only done 130,000 kms.
Also I have tried everywhere to get a passengers side fog light for the same car and cannot find one - can anyone help me with one as I am willing to pay plus postage from any Australian location .
I’m a damsal in distress ,can someone please help .

Thank you for your helpThe sensor is behind the grill, not sure how many, they've changed over the years with models, some have one centered, others may have two. Probably a problem with corrosion, generally they fail off, but they can go the other way.
Unfortunately, I can't help you with parts, I'm in the US and they stopped making them here in 83.

Usually the air bag warning light flashes a code and you have to count the number of times it flashes. Most often it's code 22 which indicates a loose connection of the air bag harness under the passengers seat. The code is two digits. The first digit is flashed with a 0.5 second interval between pulses. There is a 2 second pause before the second digit is flashed which also has a 0.5 second interval between pulses. There is a 5 second pause between each display of an Lamp Fault Code (LFC). Each lFC is flashed five times after which the airbag indicator will remain lit for the remainder of the key-on cycle. If there are multiple LFC's, each LFC will flash in order of priority. Post the code here once you have it and I will advise what it means and possible solutions. While LFC are indicative of issue in some cases you will need to use compatible scan tool (ELM327 and Forscan if you can get access to it see ttps://www.fordforums.com/threads/forscan-russian-invasion-of-ukrane-ends-product-support-for-forscan-for-now-at-least.314366/ ) to extract codes that give more detailed and specific information.

Thank you for your reply and I’ll try to get a code . Yesterday I drove 250km and airbag light didn’t come on at all, despite me turning the car off several times and yet other times times the light will stay on for lengthy periods and other times it will flash on and off a bit and either go off or stay on - crazy noFog Light here: Genuine Ford BA/BF - SX/SY LH Left Fog Lamp/Driving Light XR6/XR8/GT/GT-P/F6 | eBay There are much cheaper bolt in after market sets available e.g. Ford Fog Light LEFT BA BF XR6 XR8 Territory SX SY 2002 - 2008 driving spot | eBay and LH+RH Foglights Pair for Ford Falcon BA BF Territory SX 2002-2009 Left Right L+R | eBay
