Eratic electrical problems all guages go dead, tc light and airbag lights come on, backlight for guages goes dead but guages are still on, all lights including headlights go out. Dealership replaced electrical module in dash for $950 that didn't help. I've read forums with other drivers having similar issues, but noone seems to have found the answer. What's the problem?

I will suggest a site called "aboutautomobiles.com or use singular "aboutautomobile.com". Plug in your vehicle info and read about TSP and owner complaints. Site will list factory service campaigns.

I would contact Ford about help in partial reimbursement. Since it did not fix problem you would seem to have a legitimate complaint. I would say you should try to get parts for cost as Factory should back Dealership and Dealer charged you. Your car still is not fixed, ask for Factory assistance too, when contacting Ford.

The air bag is bolted in from the back, remove the glove box door and the liner/compartment, I used to get at the motor from there without removing the airbag, it is hard but do-able.

SOURCE: tail lights and dash lights not working

there are a few fuses under the hood be sure to check fuses again at dash they could look good but not be and if one was blown it could have blown as soon as you turned them on again that would indicate a short. it could be the switch also if it is the pull type try pulling it slowly to see if they come on and turning it like to dim the dash lights. if that makes them come on you need a new switch sometimes it will work sometimes not

SOURCE: The headlights do not activate automatically, in

The light sensor to control the automatic headlamps is located on the dashboard. This sensor is suppose to activate running and headlamps. I would suspect the problem is a relay to operate the headlamps if the car uses a seperate relay in the automatic mode. I'm assuming the headlamps work in manual on/off. FYI... The auto mode does not control the fog lamps.

Testimonial: "Thanks snowman...I'll check into a relay for the headlights. "

Airbag light reset code

You would need to reset the warning light and then see if it comes back on, which would indicate a fault still there. Try this procedure

http://s16.photobucket.com/user/rogersb/media/AirBagReset.jpg.html

"How do you reset the airbag warning light in a '94 Camry?
A: Clearing the warning light in '92-'96 Camrys by the following procedure:
In the DLC1 or DCL2 (data link connector under the hood, see following diagram)
Use two short wires, one wire at terminal TC and a different wire at terminal AB
With the ignition key ON - wait 6 seconds, then:
Ground terminal TC to good body ground for one second
Then ground terminal AB for one second
Then TC one second
Then AB one second
Then ground TC until the light blinks.
Make sure the interval between grounding terminals is not more than 0.2 sec.
Remove the ground wires
Be very careful to only use the correct terminals."

Airbag light on

Try this procedure, but if it comes back on, your airbag is faulty, of course.

Airbag light goes on and off

This is most probably one of two problems, if the light goes on and off whilst turning the steering wheel, it is most probably is the slip rimg which sends the neccesary signals to the steering wheel components. it could possibly have a break in it causing eratic contact.

However, these cars are known to give problems with the passanger and driver seat occupation sensors. these are pads within the seat that detects whether someone is sitting there in order to know which airbags to deplyoy in the event it would be neccesary.

The only way to determine wich component is faulty the vehicle will have to be tested with diagnostic equipment.

The srs light on my scion tc is always on...anyone know what the problem could be?

Srs is the airbag light. You will need to get the airbag computer scanned for codes to find out why the light is on.

Jeep cherokee 1998--After replacing steering wheel and original air bag the' air bag' dashboard light keeps on and also 'check gauges' light comes on and off. do i need a new air bag or is there a cheaper...

well the check guages and airbag lights are most likely not related, the airbag is most likely the clockspring contact under the steering wheel is defective, check guages means you have a gauge that is reading a problem like low oil pressure or overheating, this can be the body control module causing this as well..

it is flashing a code at u, this indicates the coiled rotating contact under the steering wheel has an open circuit in the airbag connection to the steering column, this contact is called the airbag clock-spring rotating contact, the steering wheel must be removed to replace it, CAUTION: The Airbag must be dis-armed before you remove it from the steering wheel, if it goes off u can be seriously injured.
