OK well it seems like this is a dead subject so i dusted off my credit card and bought a scan tool that can diagnose the airbag light but when i go and scan it it says there are no DTC'S in vehicle memory so i an at a loss as to what is triggering the light to come on only when i have a passenger in the vehicle the airbag dummy light comes on by the speedometer when i have a passenger in the seat but not on at all when the seat is unoccupied, will check it again later but i am stumped asif there is a light it needs to have an error code..
also i may have fixed the intermittent oil light on the dash as well it took my the better part of the afternoon but i got a new switch installed as mine looked like it had oil seepage but the oil was black as night with only 1300km on it so i don't know what ford put in there but i don't think they changed the oil when i asked them too..now the oil is clear as glass and it full synthetic high mileage with a new filter so i will see how things go from here i know that is done properly but just needs a new drain pan bolt next oil change
