Babyhuey--Aloha, I have a 1992 with the same problem of flashing Air Bag light (10x). Per the manual, I disconnected the sensors and checked each to have 1200 ohms. they did. Then I checked the black and grey plugs to the diagnostic module and they also showed 1200 ohms. So the next step is to replace the module. Seems easy enough. But I am concerned as Red 92 was to make sure that the diagnostic module that I buy doesn't just burn another fuse... you stated *****"The only thing that can cause the fuse to burn is either a shorted out D-sensor or wiring to one of the D-sensors shorted to ground. Checking for this is a matter disconnecting the battyer, air bag diagnostic module and drivers air bag in the steering wheel (This step is to keep from accidentily deploying the air bag during the checks). Once all three are disconnecting it is just a matter of using an digital ohm meter and checking continuity of three wires at the diagnostic module. Do you have access to a digital ohm meter??"*****What do i check with the ohm meter to see if the D-sensor or wiring to the D-sensors is shorted? Or is that what I have already accomplished? What is the difference b/w a D-sensor and an S-Sensor?
