Two problems related to front air bag sensor control have been reported for the 1999 Ford F-150. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I first noticed that my air bag dash light began blinking. I decided that it should be repaired in that I do travel quite a bit for work on heavily traveled highways here in indiana. I took the vehicle to butler Ford here close to my residence and ask that the warning light on be repaired along with a Ford recall #05s28 and a windshield wiper problem. When I returned for the vehicle the warning light was still blinking but the other two items had been taken care of. I was handed a bill for 126 dollars and the flashing light was not fixed. The repair bill stated "pass side air bag switch shorted. No further action was taken to repair the problem.
While driving 30 mph driver's air bag inadvertently deployed. The driver was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and pulled over. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, but the cause had not been determined at this time. Dealer and collision center state that sensor shows deployment was caused by an accident, but vehicle was not in an accident.
