Windstar 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 28,800 miles
The air bag light on my 2001 Ford Windstar remained on indicating a problem with the air bag and safety restraint system. I took it to the Ford dealer and they did a diagnostic and discovered that there was a loose wire in the harness. They had to remove the left front seat console and air bag module to get at the loose wire. They reconnected it. This cost me $256.34 with tax. I did an internet search and found another person that seemed to have the same problem as I did. I wonder if this problem is common and a possible safety issue with all Ford Windstar?.
