The airbag light has come on in my Ford Transit. Is there a danger of it deploying while I'm driving?

You better call the Dealer - your airbag must be functional by law

No it usually means that if you are in a accident it will not deploy.

My Hyundi light has been on and off for the past year. It is usually caused by a faulty wire. It will fail the MOT but there's no chance of it deploying. If you look online under this there's usually a solution. My wire is in the glove box and keeps coming loose.

Highly unlikely, but you will need to get it sorted before the next MOT. Incidentally you should not need a Ford dealer, many independents will have the kit to read the codes on a Transit.

No, the danger is that in a crash it won't work and you'll go face first into the steering wheel.

No - the danger is that it will not deploy in a crash, resulting in your death or severe injury.

It is more likely just a loose wire but it is a MOT failure now. Removing the bulb will not work as it must light up when the ignition is switched On and go out when you start the engine (Normally after a few seconds to show testing circuit)

  • How to fix 2004 Ford Taurus sel airbag light? I have a 2004 ford taurus sel that I got from a lady who got it from a guy that bought it from the auction. So the car has some minor wear and tear but it does drive. It does have a 44 on the battery, so i don't know if thats the problem like if its weak because it dies after charging it. But what I also need to know is how to get rid of the solid yellow (non blinking) airbag light.

  • Why does my car brake light sometime come on when driving? I have a ford fiesta 1997 and just recently I have noticed the parking brake light comes on when driving. It comes on and goes straight off again. It don't happen all the time I drive and sometimes does not happen for a few days. Does anyone know what this is or has this happened to anyone before?
  • My car shakes while at idle and while driving? I have a 2001 Ford Escort Sedan… My aunt and I have literally tried everything except a new engine and a new transmission… Everything else is new and was all flushed and blown out and it's still shaking while idling AND driving! We're clueless! We don't know what else to do! Could it be the car slowly breaking down for good?
