Air Bag light

My 1991 Ford Taurus has a constantly blinking air bag light. What might the cause be and how can I fix it? It started out blinking just during cool, damp weather but now it's constant.

Thanks.

It's most likely the clockspring in the steering column and you should have a professional accustomed to working on that system perform the repair.

poor gas mileage

N

noguru on Oct 21, 2004

I have a 1996 Chrysler Sebring Convertible(4.2 liter). I bought it used in 2000 and it had an oil leak that wound up being the head gasket. The dealer had it fixed at a shop that would fix it for half of what Chrysler wanted. Needless to say I had to have the head gasket replaced 8 months later by Chrysler. Chrysler also replaced my manifold and told me it was cracked and that I would get better gas mileage now that they replaced it. I'm honestly not sure what else they did if any thing at that time, but I went from getting about 215 miles to the tankfull to getting 315 miles to the tankfull. It was great. About a year or so later my gas mileage went back down to 215. When I asked my personal and trusted mechanic about checking my manifold, he told me that if the manifold was cracked I'd actually probably get better gas mileage (something about air getting in). Since they don't want to cost me unneeded repairs I haven't done anything further, but with the price of gas these days I'd like to figure out if there's anything I might look into to increase my mileage. I get 16 miles around town (which sounds really really bad to me, might as well have an SUV) and got around 30 on a highway trip recently (which sounds like an incredible difference to me). I had added a 3in1 additive before the trip, but I always get much much better highway miles even without it. And it went right back down after my trip. Who is right about the manifold crack? I hope I have given you enough information. Thanks for looking at this! Doityourself.com is the bomb!!! :DRead More

cougarsdad on Oct 20, 2004

Memory seat buttons stopped working. Have to adjust seats each time getting into the car. Anyone have any experience with such a problem? Press set button and both 1 and 2 light up green as normal, but doesn't allow setting and doesn't return to a different position for each driver. Awaiting anyone's suggestion. Thanks in advance, Cougarsdad :)Read More
