Excursion Airbag Warning Lamp

My 2006 Ford Excursion diesel is throwing me a curveball. The airbag warning lamp is constantly lit in the speedometer. I'm betting it's a dodgy cable or connector somewhere in the system. Anyone else seen this gremlin?

I encountered a similar issue with a 2012 BMW 5 series a few years back. The airbag light illuminated intermittently. Did you check the crash sensors or the wiring harness under the seats? Those were common failure points on the BMW.

Under the seats, eh? I hadn't considered that. Were the symptoms identical to mine? Just the airbag light constantly on?

Yes, the airbag light was the only symptom. It turned out to be a corroded connector near one of the impact sensors. I would advise taking your vehicle to a reputable workshop to avoid triggering the airbags.

Thanks! Appreciate the insight. I took it to the shop and you nailed it, corroded connector. 95€ later and the light's gone. Cheers!
