When starting the truck the airbag light is illuminated and flashes.
Airbag light with code 34. Both belt retention have been replaced but has not fixed it.
Just purchased vehicle air bag light flashes and turns on when driving looked into issue. Found recall for airbag that causes this. Recall 11s18b. Contacted ford they said recall had not been performed and set up appointment to have it done. Ford completed recall. Picked up vehicle drove 1000 feet airbag light came back on. Turned around and informed service department. They told me the recall has nothing to so with the airbag or light and that if I pay 100 they will diagnose vehicle. I informed them that it shows right on for that the recall causes light to flash and possibly airbag to deploy. They told me it does not and I was wrong and sent me on my way

After the recall to prevent a short between horn and air bag was completed in 2011 a short time thereafter in the middle of the night the horn came on by itself in the locked vehicle with no one in it. After trying everything I could think of like starting the engine and pushing the horn button numerous times. I was about ready to disconnect the battery when in anger I hit the center of the steering wheel very hard with my hand and the horn stopped blowing. From that day on the airbag warning light stays on when the engine runs. And the horn blows half as loud as it originally did when activated. Ford says its my problem because the recall was already completed. Only problem here is that their was no problem at all until after the recall work.
