Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting Airbag light!!!

I have a code 41. any suggestions?

I also have a Code 41.

From elsewhere on CEG, the code means:
RH Primary Crash Sensor Feed/Return Circuit Open

I located the RH Primary Crash Sensor and checked the wiring harness connector (connector is located behind the RH headlight in the engine bay). I also removed Fuse 36 from under the dash to try and reset the Airbag Diagnostic Module.

Sorry to report that none of the above worked.

I therefore have several questions for other users:

1) Has anyone else gotten this code and managed to correct the fault?
2) I tried to locate the Airbag Diagnostic Module. From elsewhere on the CEG site, I determined that is is blue and located beneath the radio. Unfortunately I could not locate it. Can someone suggest how best to access this module so that I can check the harness connections?
3)How do you reset the fault codes on the Airbag Diagnostic Module?

Thanks for your help.

i cleaned the connections, now i have a code 51, which i believe means an internal thermal fuse has blown. can this fuse be reset?

I am new to this site. When I bought my 1998 Contour Sport in January 2004 the airbag light was flashing. I knew it couldn't be anything too bad wrong with it. It is flashing 51. I looked up the code on this site but I am not sure what that means or how to fix it. Could someone please explain to me in "english" how to fix this light. It is seriously getting on my nerves! Thanks for this site! It has really helped me out alot! chandra1220@comcast.net

has anyone had any problems with the flashing being not in a certain pattern? just a random pattern??? or at least it seems that way to me...i cant keep up with it..please help me out here...thanx.
