Hi. My probe is really fighting me. Finally got it on the road and now airbag light flashing 3 times then off for 3 seconds. Did it before but cured itself. Sorry to ask I appreciate the probs with the server crash.
Many thanks.

You need to count the flashes to read the codes, big flash '10's' short flashes units.

Then , (hopefully, went the full site is running), read the codes listed in Orcal.
But someone must have 'hard copy ' of the codes.

You could try 'clearing the codes', by disconnecting the battery, use the brake pedal a few times , to earth Kit any current.Then re-connect the battery.

Airbag module doesnt store faults! It does a health check and reports everytime it starts up. Sounds like you have an intermittent fault like a loose connection. Whats your code? There are some common connection issues to check but others may need to advise you on what and where they are. I think clockspring area has one and glove comparment area another.

Thanks for the advise. Code is 33. I'll pull some connectors tonight and clean with electrical cleaner and see if that helps.

I pulled the connector behind glove box and cleaned it. Light has gone out for now.
