Hey y'all!
I need to preface everything by saying that I know next to nothing about cars or trucks, much less how to fix them. The only thing I'm smart enough to do is realize that and ask people who know what they're talking about, so hopefully I can find that here
I drive a 1998 Ford Ranger, automatic transmission. I'm a bit of a city slicker, so to be completely honest I don't know much more about it other than it's white haha
Anyway, my issue is with my airbag. The airbag light on my dashboard started going off, and I did enough research to learn the code and what it entailed. The airbag light code is 25, which I learned meant that there was an issue with the PAD switch. Of the limited examples I found online, a few people have found that their bulb had burned out, which I don't think is the case, but I'm more than willing to be proven wrong.
Right now with the current PAD switch, the light is on to indicate that the passenger airbag is disengaged whether I turn the keyhole to on or off.
My first impulse was to just buy an entirely new part and try to replace the thing, but I wanted to ask around first to make sure that I had exhausted all of my options.
I hope that covers all the necessary information! Please be gracious as I really have no idea what I am doing, and feel free to dumb down any answers into layman's terms for my sake haha
Thanks so much!
