Any auto mechanics out there?

Anyone know what a code 33 airbag light blinking means on a 2005 Grand Marquis GS. Is it a big deal or not? I'm being told I have to go to a Ford dealer to have it fixed or reset.

Added (1). I contact a local Ford dealer and spoke to a service tech who wouldn't say specifically the problem, but said the problem is with the passenger side airbag (he was adamant about that). He said to schedule an appointment and he can fix it, but wouldn't quote a price.

So that's my problem, I'm not disputing the importance of an airbag. I'm just trying to get some kind of ball park idea of which side it's actually on and if it's a small or big repair (money wise).

Open circuit detected on driver's side seatbelt pretensioner. A pretensioner is what locks the sealbelt in a crash, so if you consider going through the windshield in a crash a 'big deal' then yes, it's a big deal.

If you look like this… No big deal.

Tell us the whole code number. If you forgot it, have it pulled again at a car part store. The code will tell that the problem is. "33" looks like an OBD1 code and your car is OBD2.
