My airbag light has come on.
I have just searched the forum. This tells me that either some wires are loose under either my driver's or passenger seat, or something called a clockspring has gone awry. I do not work on cars. At all. I almost killed myself trying to replace the taillight (those little plastic tabs holding the trunk lining in place don't "pop out" when you pull on them - they break - and how on Earth are you supposed to get the nut off of that 10-inch bolt without impaling your forearm?).
So, I have questions. Are these wires/contacts under the seats easily accessible? If not, or if that isn't the problem, does anyone take their Thunderbird to someone they trust in Austin? My problem developed remarkably soon after an inspection and rear brake job . . .
Also, I have the squeaking steering column. Not when I turn the wheel, only when it moves automatically when you put the key in the ignition or remove it. I have read instructions on accessing the steering column and greasing it. If I try this, the next step will be to call the towing company to come get the car. Any other suggestions/possibilities?
