air bag code
Hello, I just got a 1995 ford crown victora P71
I notice that when I start the car my air bag light comes on and flashes a code 12 and then stays on. Can anyone tell me what the code means and how to turn the air bag light off?

Looks like you repaired the battery loss. Below description is instructions to clear the code. FOLLOW IT EXACTLY.
52 Intermittent or Repaired Lost Battery Feed
Once a fault has been serviced, the associated diagnostic trouble code may be cleared from NVRAM. Only diagnostic trouble codes that the air bag diagnostic monitor sees as repaired or intermittent may be cleared (diagnostic trouble codes 52 and above). In no circumstances can hard fault conditions (diagnostic trouble codes 45 and below) be cleared.
Cycle the ignition switch to OFF and then to RUN.
Observe air bag indicator prove-out (six ± two seconds) followed by diagnostic trouble code (52-85) flashing completely one time.
Locate the Diagnostic "Trouble Code Clear" Connector located underneath the glove compartment containing Circuits 631 (T/R) and 57 (BK).
Use a jumper wire to short Circuit 631 (T/R) to Circuit 57 (BK) or to another good ground. This short must be made after the diagnostic trouble code flashes completely one time, but before the warning light stays on continuously.
Hold short until air bag diagnostic monitor tone sounds (approximately five seconds).
Release short on Circuit 631 (T/R) to Circuit 57 (BK). This short must be released within 25 seconds after the diagnostic monitor tone sounds.
Diagnostic trouble code is now cleared from NVRAM. Next highest priority diagnostic trouble code stored in NVRAM (if one exists) will begin flashing.
