i know its flashing but i am at work right now and my son has the truck, i will contact him and find out the sequence, thanks for the response

is the light on the PAD out?

if its giving a 2-7 flashing sequence, then it is a burnt out PAD switch bulb

If so you have to solder in a new bulb since you can just buy a replacement bulb

the light on the PAD comes on when I turn the switch to the off position, is there more than one light?

usually a 2-7 code is for the airbag PAD switch, try counting again, maybe its something else

Mine was 27 and my bulb was burned out! Talk about a cheap fix! $2.57 for the bulb at Radio Shack vs over $60 at the stealership for a whole new switch!

Check the conectors under the seat. Mine was flashing, ( i forget what code it was) found out that it had to do with the seat belt tensioner, which is what the conectors under the seat are for. They are known to get loose or corroded. I unplugged mine, sprayed some electrical cleaner in them, and plugged back in. Problem solved.

$60, thats cheap, when mine went out in the 01 back in 2004, they wanted over $90 at the dealership
