Hello.

I'm getting an airbag error code in my 2004 Freestar Ltd. On startup the light flashes 6 times, pauses and then flashes 8 times This cycle repeats 3 times and then the light goes solid.
So I guess the error code is 68 or 6-8?
I have found references to many different airbag codes online but never this specific one.
Anyone familiar with this one?

Thanks in advance if you can help me out

I paid $141.00 to have the dealership read the code and they tell me that I need to replace part # 3f2z-14b345-ba. It is a side impact sensor that has been discontinued. The dealership could not order it in for me but I found one on ebay for $80.59. Once I receive and replace it, I'll post the end result here. In case anyone else has a similar problem.

 

I received the part and swapped the old one out. There was a lot of moisture under the rug. It looks like the passenger door weather stripping was askew. The old side impact sensor was a mess.

I dried the rug, cleaned up the bracket and put the new side impact sensor in. Now I have a new sequence from the airbag light.
The airbag light flashes 11 times, pauses and flashes 3 times. This cycle repeats 3 times and then the light goes solid.


The service advisor at the dealership said that it might work or they might have to program it.
