Turning The Passenger Air Bag Back On - Ford 2004 F150 Owner's Manual

2. When the ignition is turned to the
ON position the "passenger airbag
off" indicator light illuminates
briefly, momentarily shuts off and
then turns back on. This indicates that the passenger air bag is
deactivated. Refer to Front passenger sensing system in this chapter.
If the OFF light fails to illuminate when the passenger air bag
ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position and the ignition switch is

In order to avoid inadvertent activation of the switch, always
remove the ignition key from the passenger air bag ON/OFF
switch.
