need advice. my mom’s car, a 2002 Lincoln LS (3.0 V6, auto) has had the airbag light on for a week or two and she wants it taken care of. i assume the dealership would rape us with cost, so i haven’t really considered that option yet. she has a local mechanic that does all her work, but he said that he can’t diagnose the airbag light/fix it unless he scans the car, and has a wiring diagram for the airbag system/module. i WOULD just pick up a Chilton’s/Haynes manual for this thing, but apparently they don’t even make one for this vehicle. does anyone have access to a factory service manual online for this car? i have not yet counted the blinks of the light (i’d assume that this tells me the code, similiar to how the CEL works). i briefly glanced at it when she told me about it and noticed that it blinks a few times, then stays lit. any advice/help is appreciated. ---

Count the blicks. It gives you a code then you go look it up. I’m going to guess it’s a ground ---

anyone have the listing for the codes? are they specific to Lincoln, or universal to all makes? ---

Probably Ford/ Lincoln specific. I’d bet you can google them… ---

Code 32 Also. No buttons on the steering wheel work. No radio volume, no cruise, and no even the horn. Gotta be a clockspring. Thanks 38stang ---

you can buy a used clockspring on [car-part.com](http://car-part.com) for that thing. It should be cheap. If it is anything like the other fords I have worked on, the clockspring is pretty simple to replace. Just pull the bag, then the clockspring.
