Hey bdrilling5,
I'm having the same problem with my 96 Ranger. My wife was driving it a couple of months ago and it smelled like something was burning. The airbag light has been on solid ever since then. I've checked wiring at front crash sensors, driver airbag, clockspring and control module behind right side kick plate. I hope you found a fix for yours and you can help me. P.S. I travel to Kirksville MO three or four times a year. Not in Ranger. THANKS!!!!!!!!
