just PLEASE be very careful testing this system.

and here is a repair note from a tech that had this same problem..... 2008 Ford Crown Victoria, 4.6L, V8, Flex, VIN V, USA * Deployable Steering Column - Note: the deployable part of the steering column has a yellow button that appears to pop up when the column deploys; at least it was popped up on the original column, and not on the replacement column. 26,000 miles Replaced Deployable Steering Column

ok. it looks like 2 common possibilities on this code. 1) new steering column. 2)connector. i copy/pasted the testing. i personally hate it when they tell ya to jumper wires in the airbag system....... ests/Procedures: 1. Note the resistance reading of the Deployable Steering Column through the RCM data display. An expected value would be something between 1.8-4.0 ohms. 2. If the resistance reading of the deployable steering column is higher than the note range, jumper the Orange (OG) wire to the Red/Light Blue (RD/LB) wire of the deployable steering column connector together and look for the resistance shown through the RCM to drop to lower than the minimum of the expected range. 3. If the resistance reacts as stated in steps 1 and 2, replace the steering column assembly. 4. If the resistance reading does not change when the jumper is installed, check the individual circuits running from the deployable steering column to the RCM and address as needed.

they approve it, then it goes to the judge. thus, it is not their fault.

plug in anyway. most times, there will be a stored code, as in the chrysler i had today.

ALSO, if the perp jumped in the passengers side, then why's he on the ground on the drivers side?

so who at stag did what to whom to piss off whom? this almost reeks of some kind of retribution. or i'm being overly paranoid.

this honestly sounds like someone that may be trying to perpetuate misinformation.

complacency kills. i watched it almost kill an excellent pilot i know.

i'm willing to give you dropping the gun as an accident. i'm not willing to give you cleaning and having it go off as an accident.

IT was accidental? that's what his lawyer says? how about calling it what it is? stupid, careless, reckless, and murder?

WELL, you know.....all of this wouldn't have happened if only they'd made it illegal to run someone over with a car or truck.

on the fords, sometimes the quick readers will not pick up airbag system codes. you need to get into the restraint control module to get the actual codes. they'll usually be "B" followed by four numbers. very common on the fords, are the drivers seatbelt pretensioner. this is part of the seat belt buckle. the part that you click the belt into. it contains a very small explosive charge which actually tightens up the seatbelt when a crash is detected. the clockspring. this is in the steering column, right underneath the steering wheel. it allows transmission of power to the steering wheel operated accessories, along with the signal to the drivers side airbag. the restraint control module. they tend to go bad on the fords after while. i shoulda put this before the clockspring, as it's more common than those on fords. to get closer, we need to get the codes though. none of my stuff has 12-7 flash code. are you near cherry hill? anyway, hope some of that helped at least a little.

they do in the state of nj's eyes.

i used to warn people scams and shit like this could/would happen with the advent of computers.

bump

yea, but this time it's different.

welllll you know.....i hadda ask. good point i think he can. wasn't the justifiable need thing put in there by eo to begin with?

just a quick question....... nj2as page on farcebook and some discussion e few days ago about the justifiable need thing expiring this past week? i can't find it over there, and to be honest, didn't go looking here(beyond the first page in the heading).......so did they let it expire, or was it re-adopted?

over thinking things is ALWAYS a good thing. 'cept when you're trying to figure out women. then over thinking is a bad thing. very bad.

they were also saying it was gonna happen during the last election.

is it safe? won't end up with black helicopters and suv's all over the place?

if confiscation happens, i think it'll happen after something like the school shooting, or the theater shooting. martial law? outside of us being attacked, or a SERIOUS national natural disaster, i don't see that happening. and yes, i do believe this exercise is more due to being prepared to handle civil unrest on our own soil, although i believe that they're telling the guys participating that it's not for that.

i don't answer the door at home for anyone, unless i recognize them. when mom's up here, she doesn't either. don't answer the house phone, unless it's her, or my good friend that calls me there when i don't answer the cell phone. since i work, shoot, sleep, i'm confident that there are no arrest warrants out for me, lololol

oh well. was worth a shot. i called the shop owner this morning. talked for a bit, then asked him. he's not going anywhere. his words were "i'm about 30 years from even thinking of retiring, unless someone offers me millions, lol". it's ok though, 'cause like i said....he's a good dude, and has decent mechanics working for him too..
