I assume the sensor itself might be located near the bumper, but couldn't find anything in my Haynes manual. If I'm not able to fix it, I don't really care for airbags, but I don't want an inspection to find out how much it's gonna cost to get it fixed, so I want to have it stop blinking (short of pulling the light out 1995 4-banger Contour GL

Connector is right behind the radiator in front of the battery. Pop it open, spray with electronic parts cleaner, reassemble. No more flashing error code! I think the vapors from the battery get to it. I had the same problem with my LeBaron. Everything next to the battery needed cleaned more often.
