Default Airbag light

Ok so I always keep my passenger airbag off because my boy sits in the front seat. When I got in the truck today my airbag light on my dash keeps blinking and the "off" near the switch is not lit up. I tried switching it off and on, starting the truck and shutting it down in between. Nothing. After driving about 5 minutes the light on the dash stopped blinking and is just staying on.

What's the problem, how to fix, is it safe for the time being?

Truck info should be in my sig.

Interesting. I'll look into it. Wouldn't have thought of something so simple.

Its an easy fix don't remember part numbers of hand but i grabbed a bulb and resistor from radio shack and soldered it on. There is a thread on it just google ford ranger airbag code 27 fix. I think i spent like $3 in parts and the led will last a long time.

^ and its probably loads easier than dealing with the ford parts dept. and paying dealership parts fees.

Ok so I just got back in my truck from work and the "off" indicator is lit up and the dash light isn't on... Lol wtf.

There's was a big rainstorm yesterday that the truck sat out in... Could something have gotten wet, and then dried out as it sat outside while I was at work?
