How to reset airbag light on 2008 ford fusion

Here's a quick check list for most common cost of SRS / Air bag problem.


Dirty contacts on driver and passenger seat belt buckles

Dirty contacts on seat belt connectors (under seats)

Dirty contacts on driver and passenger sides weight sensors (under seat)

Seat covers

Weight on passenger seat

(Example: grocery package trigger SRS / Air Bag light on the way home.)

I recommend you to pass an vacuum over the contacts and use CRC electronic parts cleaner to rule out connectivity problem.

I DO NOT disconnecting the negative battery connector to clean the code(s)

Without the code(s) the dealer will takes "BILLABLE" time to reproduce the problem.

Here's a couple of things you can try. First, disconnect the positive battery terminal on the battery for 5 minutes or so. If this doesn't make the light go out and stay out then I would take it by your local auto parts store, they will check for any trouble codes free of charge and that will point you in the right direction. Hope this helps.

There is a problem with the SRS or the light would not be on. You must have the problem repaired or the light will just come back on. Due to the fact that working on the SRS can be very hazardous, I recommend you have this repair performed by a professional. Take it back to your Ford dealer and see if they will repair it for free. The SRS just may still be under warranty. Good luck and I hope you get this repaired at no cost to you.
