2007 Ford Fusion Airbag Light. Help?

No need for panic! (we don't need an airbag, we die like real men! :) ) If the airbag was deployed before, it should have stayed on all the time. I guess it is just a contact you need to clean, this happened before. You could try a parts store that will help diagnose the problem for free. If not, you could try and take a lot of parts down just to get to the back of the airbag and clean that contact... If the light is on, in case of an accident, it is a high chance the airbag will not deploy, so best drive slow and safely!

Thank you! I commute 35 minutes by the interstate to get to college so this is really concerning for me :/ If I take it to an auto parts store can they scan it and get a problem code even if the airbag light is not illuminated at that moment? That's the issue that I'm having trying to get it read. It seems like as soon as I get into the parking lot of the store it goes off. lol.

If they have a good scanner (an usually they have) they should be able to read stored codes. Don't try to read it with 5$ scaners like elm327 or similar they usually can't connect to the airbag computer. A good bluetooth reader which can also read ABS/Airbag and more would be blue driver, but it is about 80$ if I remember.

I went to O'Reillys yesterday and they said the only thing that they read is the check engine lights. So I decided to check the wiring under the passenger seat and jostled some wires around and felt something click into place. After that it hasn't come on again even while I was on the interstate home from class. I guess the sensor came unplugged? Possibly when I had to stop really quick that day, I think something came under my seat from the back and could've knocked the connection loose.

Update: Ford owners I just talked to Ford Customer service. The airbag recall I am complaining about was performed in September 23rd of 2019 with the car having 44,600 miles on it, today is October 5th 2020 with the vehicle having 45,452 miles on it, the vehicle has had less than 1,000 miles put on it since the recall repair. Ford's customer service associate told me that it is around two weeks over the warranty Ford could extend. They have a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty for just such problems, but since my fusion is two weeks over their warranty time there is nothing they would do! My god the car has had less than 1,000 miles put on it since the recall repair, and this is a safety issue. If the Airbag indicator light is on your airbag system is off! I urge you to think about this next time you are thinking about buying a Ford. Their certified dealership, that they certified sold the vehicle, and Ford's certified dealership also did the recall repair. They are no longer in business with no replacement Ford dealership in it's place. Because of around two weeks Ford told me basically go screw yourself. Is this the practice of a major car manufacturer? I've always been a GM man, and will never own another Ford product again. If they don't care about my safety, knowing this airbag recall fix causes more problems why should I care to own another Ford. This applies to all of their airbag recalls, Trucks, cars, suv's,. If you look on here and other social media 100,000's of people have had the same problem, according to the people who have had the fix done created by the airbag recall it's the sensor that plugs directly into the airbag system, it cost's around $100-$150 to diagnose depending on dealership, and $1000 to $1500 to fix the problem the Ford airbag recall created! I would look somewhere else before buying a Ford. Also this vehicle was stored winters, and kept in mint condition and still is, except the problem created by Ford and their airbag recall!

I have found a low or drained battery caused this light to stay on. I went and bought a Diehard battery, after months of diagnosing, and reading posts.....it has worked for 4yrs now. No airbag light, starts like a dream! Batteries aren't cheap anymore, because they need ultra voltage to start and run systems, when they battery gets weak but starts car still it may not be powerful enough for Air Bag System! 2007 Ford Fusion SEL 3.0 V-6
