Airbag Light Flashing

I can pretty much figure the airbag system is broken if the light is on but I'm wondering if when it flashing 5 times (quits) flashes 5 times, repeats means anything special?

Re: Airbag Light Flashing

Ya, I need to look at it while parked (not driving).

It is flashing "51=Air Bag Diagnostic Monitor Internal Thermal FuseFuse Blown Due to Intermittent Short to Ground".

Any suggestions where to start?

Contour.org is a good place to start.

This guy got the airbag 51 code after he installed a new radio.
