F150 Airbag Light Easy Fix for Code 27 Diagnosis 

Just did this repair on my 2012 E250. Couldn't be easier👍I was originally going to use a 5mm 12v .07amp incandescent off ebay but the 74 worked great. It's a 10th amp or 100mA. Turned the key on and the light comes on for a few then off. Air bag light went away, cleared the codes, all good👍

Great video! Diagnosed my problem and showed me exactly how to get it fixed on the cheap for my 99 Ford Ranger . No more pesky airbag light. It’s refreshing.

Code 27 fixed -ford ranger 2002. Ford asked $240 for the airbag switch box. I bought 2 bulbs for $5.95 from Walmart(long life bulb 74) and went to a mobile repair shop to replace the bulb. It took 1 minute and the guy told me I do not need to pay anything but I gave him $10. All fixed around $13.50. Thanks

Thanks for the video! Easy fix and saved me a bundle. Bought the bulb at Autozone, note that you need to pull the wires down from the side of the bulb to solder them in. The bulb is designed to plug into a socket but just lift the wires and fold down. 74 ll was perfect for my 03 f150.

wrong bulb for 2003 f 150

Also my desk light does not work . Both are not working

Since I know it's nothing major ....I simply placed a strip of electrical tape over the annoying flashing light .....solved ......ride on!!...but I appreciate your video sir rock on!!

so sorry they gave me the wrong at autoparts

Thank you I thought I had to buy the whole thing when I saw no bulb

Dead on again, just replaced all my airbags and all a while back, then went off road a little and there it was this code. I haven't fixed the bulb yet as you did but went out and flicked the housing and the light came on then the code went out. I'll pick up some bulbs and do the deed! Thanks a bunch

thank you so much! I did this on my 2000 ford Pickup, worked like a charm! So grateful! Saved me some bucks, had fun, learned something new and spent some quality time with my Dad who happened to have a soldering tool.

Hello,

Thank you so much! Followed your instructions and worked like a charm. A thing or two: I used the bulb from Radio Shack 272-1141 and it worked great. The yellow sleeve (Jimmy-Hat!) went on easy as pie. I think the bulb you used had a much bigger diameter. However, the 272-1141 had VERY fine copper wires and it was a little tricky to get the wires through the holes in the circuit board. My screws were 5.5 mm.

Iam going to give it a try . you guys are right on 99% of the time and all it will cost is a bulb and a little time . that saved about three hundred bucks. Thank you

Thanks so much! You saved me time not having to diagnose the problem. The repair was easy. 157k on my 99 f150.

It worked!!! Had those annoying dings because my passenger airbag on/off light was blown. Pulled that dash section off just as you showed and de-soldered the bulb and put the new one in. I needed a 74LL (has the 2 wire prongs). The auto store and the push pull kind. I just bent the wires out and soldered it in and put everything back together. Took less than 20 minutes. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for video. I put bulb back in mine to get code. I didn't know the light gave codes until seeing it on RU-vid. Had code 27 and watched this and fixed the light. I think it is crazy to have light and buzzers going off for blown bulb but thanks to your video I fixed it.

Totally worked! It was blowing my fuse to my blower on top of the annoying airbag light. You just saved me $$$!! Thank you so much for your video!

Thanks worked like a charm! Shocked myself by having a 5.5mm. Thank You.

Given a big shout out to you! This nailed it! Thank you for sharing this information! This job took me a total of ten minutes to fix!
