Q. After fixing problem on horn contact ring now find air bag dash warning on constant whilst driving. Ford dealer advised to disconnect battery for 1 hour-did not work. Is there a re-set button somewhere? Connectors and wiring checks out OK. Help please


A. I am no motor mechanic and would expect the Ford dealer to be more helpful than me. I have, however, done some research and would appear that if the air bag light is illuminated it can mean that the air bag may not activate
in an accident - it is "on hold".

As a layman (or lay woman) it sounds as though the air bag sensors may need resetting, perhaps they were touched whilst fixing the horn contact problem.
