Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2013 STX - Airbag Light Comes On Randomly
Nov 23, 2015
I have a 2013 F150 STX with an air bag light that comes on randomly, I have had the truck in 3 times so far to get it checked out and they keep replacing a sensor in the driver door. Part number BL3Z 14B345A. The sensor has been replaced twice so far and the light still comes on randomly. I took the truck in again on 11/17/2015 and was told to bring it back when the light is on and stays on. I think we all know that if the light comes on and I do manage to get it to the service department during business hours that I will not be rushed to the front of the line and they will park the truck turn off the ignition and the light will go out.
The truck also has a couple of other little glitches. Every once in awhile at start up the radio will just pop or crackle through the speakers this will last for about 2 blocks then the radio works fine after that. The speakers will also cut out randomly while sitting at a stop light. I guess since Ford don't know how to fix there trucks. The truck is still under warranty but it is getting close to the mileage cutoff.

I have a 2011 F150 supercrew 4x4 5.0, it has almost 8k miles. I have looked around online to see if this is a common issue but haven't found anything really. The airbag warning light in the instrument cluster will come on and stay on randomly. Some days it only lights up when I start the truck, other days it will turn on and stay on until I restart the truck. I think I have a glitch or a malfunction in a switch somewhere with the Airbag system. I will be calling the dealership about it after we finish the Easter Weekend.

Just hasn't been my luck lately guys. Last night was around 4 F out, taking a left at an intersection and lost power. Though it might be the TC kicking in as it was a bit icy out, but no indication of that on the dash. Then the "service engine" wrench showed up for a second on the display.
This was followed by the airbag light turning on, and the truck going into some kind of limp mode. The speedo indicated "0 MPH" though I was running about 2k RPMs in 5th.
My display showed this:
I couldn't force a downshift with the throttle, or get one from manual mode. I slowed down and pulled over at a safe place, shut the truck off and restarted. Hasn't happened since then.

I've got a bit of a weird problem with my 2012 F150 XLT Supercab w/ 5.0 and 4x4. My airbag light flashes on once ignition is in the "ON" position then turns off and back on making it code 1-1 I believe but, I cannot for the life of me, find anything about this. Also, for some reason it only happens when it's above 66 degrees outside, the temperature barely gets above that until this time of year and as soon as I take it anywhere they pull it into their shop, which is cooler than outside, and the code disappears. I would like to see if I can solve this first without doing taking it to a dealer and have a huge bill. I checked all of the cables under the seats, the fuses, the battery and the airbag module under the center console and I cannot find anything that seems loose.

On three different occasions in the past month I noticed air bag light on in my 13 supercrew. Code comes up as B0091 drivers door crash sensor. This truck was bought new and only has 13000 miles on it so my gut is telling me it's something to do with the harness that is at the door hinge. I've carefully inspected the wires and do not see any obvious broken wires but that doesn't mean one of the wires isn't breaking on the inside.

I bought a 2013 f150 last Saturday. It had battery corrosion on the positive side of the battery and on the battery cable end. The dealer agreed to replace the battery and the cable end which they did. Every thing was fine until today when the battery light came on. It stayed on for a few min and then went off. I had the battery and alternator checked at the local parts store. They checked out good. Why a light if everything checks out good?

I am looking at 2013 FX4 with the 5.0 that has 127,000 miles. Truck is pretty clean cosmetically except for the inside of the bed which is pretty rough. When I went to look at the truck I was curious to hear it on initial start up and it was really quiet. I have never heard in person the dreaded knock of the 5.0, only on youtube. After the truck idled for 10min while we talked I did kinda start to hear a little deep but very light thwump, thwump, thwump but it would fade at times and you wouldn't hear anything. I never heard it while I drove the truck. I know there are prob millions of these motors out there and the internet may make it seem worse than it is but would it scare you to buy a 2013 with 127K? I had thought originally that the 2011-2012 were the years with the problems but the latest 5.0 knock thread has me wondering.

Yesterday had a issue with my new truck, (less than 2500 miles), pulled up to a stop sign and the low oil pressure warning light came on and truck just died and wouldn't start back up, checked oil and put some in and it still wouldn't start, called Ford roadside asst. and right before they showed up it started. Still had it towed to dealership and they're still looking at!!! It's got the 5.0

Noticed on my wife's 2013 F150 that when you put the key in the ignition without turning it on that the dash lights will flicker on/off and the easy out power seat will move back and forth if you wiggle the key. My SD did the same thing while under warranty and the dealer replaced the ignition switch. How hard of a repair is this to do? It doesn't do this with the key in the acc or run position.

Trans Noise At least I think it’s coming for the trans. Ok here it goes. When I’m just taking off at light acceleration going through the gears I hear what I call a humming noise. It starts off low and as you increase rpms to the shift point it get louder and then start over again. It does this in most of the lower gears, at least what I can hear. As you get going faster there is more wind and tire noise, so I can’t hear it as well. I have heard it at higher speed but conditions have to be right. I found a YouTube vid that someone posted. It has the same noise I’m talking about, he did a great job recorded it. I tried but didn’t have any luck. Anyway he took it to the dealer and they say it was a the separator plate. His is fixed. I did hear that there is a TSB on the Trans for the separator plate but not sure if it is for the same problem I’m having.

I have a 2006 Explorer with the 4.6 liter V8.
The airbag light on the dash comes on randomly after start up. It lights up solid and does not flash a code. I hooked up my code reader to it and it shows no code as well.
As part of my observations I have noticed that the passenger air bag off light comes on and goes off even when the seat is empty.

I have a 2003 Buick Century 3.1L. The airbag light goes on randomly. I realize that it is supposed to go on momentarily after I start the engine. Sometimes the light will stay lit for one or more drives and sometimes it will stay off for one or more drives. I have checked the fuse; it is good. I have tried smacking the airbag on the steering and the dash...the light remains lit. I have seen a bundle of wires on the back side of the fuse box and am not sure whether I should try to trace the fuse wire back to both locations or what to do next. Is there some trick of the trade like a reset button and what do you think I should try next?

I have a 2002 PT Cruiser who's airbag light seems to go on and off randomly. Some days it will stay off all day. Other times it will stay lit for days on end.
Some times it will go off for 10 to 20 seconds, then come back on with a chime for 10 seconds, then off again. Off...on...off...on....it will do it for 45 minutes or so or until the car is shut off and restarted.
Occasionally, the light coming on seems to correspond with hitting a pot hole or rough patch, but that could just be coincidence because it is not consistent.
Both the driver and passenger airbags were replaced about a year ago, during round 1 of fixing this problem (to get through state inspection.) It worked for about a year, and now its back. It makes me think I was taken for almost $2,000 replacing those in the first place. The steering wheel clockspring was also replaced around the same time.
I see from searching online that I am not the only one that has seen this with this model car.

2003 Ford F150, 101,000 miles. While driving, the horn beeps twice, and so does the chirper (makes chipping sound). This is the same noise the truck makes when you reconnect the battery after changing it. Its been really cold lately, and seems to get worse when the road is bumpy.

I recently noticed that when my girlfriend sits in the front passenger seat the light will randomly indicate that the passenger airbag is off. I took it to the dealership, they ordered me a new light to see if that is the problem.
Its really weird, she will be sitting in the same position for over a hour sometimes and then it will suddenly say that her airbag is off. the dealer said they tested the seat switch and it was working properly.
I will be bringing it in this week sometime and we will see what they say about the light. For now I have decided to take a picture/video everytime it happens to document it.
