Seatbelt Light on Dash Flashes

Hi guys
I have had a look around the site but not found info(could be me being blind though)
I noticed last night that the orange seatbelt light is flashing - it has been happening for a while and I just thought it was random however last night i noticed it appears to be a fault code? Based on other lights flashing info.
It flashes once then maybe 5-10 seconds later flashes once again and this repeats
Anyone got any ideas?
Many thanks

I don't think Scorpio's had seatbelt warning lights. My doesn't.
It sounds like you're talking about the airbag warning light.
1 Flash Drivers airbag failure - or open circuit to airbag (check mylar clockspring connection)
2 Flashes Passenger Airbag failure - or open circuit to airbag
3 Flashes Failure of both airbags
4 Flashes Pyrotechnic seatbelt pre-tensioner failure (Either side)
5 Flashes Drivers airbag failure - System shorted
6 Flashes Passenger airbag failure - System shorted
7 Flashes Drivers crash sensor failure
8 Flashes Passenger crash sensor failure

no airbags at all?!
seatbelt pre-tensioners are also connected to the same module as the actual airbags.

If it doesnt have an airbag then someones removed it or its not a Scorpio 
Airbags have been standard fit on the Ford range since 1993
If the code is 1 flash then check the drivers clock spring first.
remember to disconnect the battery for a good ten minutes first before you start dismantling it, I wouldnt imagine an airbag going off between your legs as you take the steering column to bits is particularly good fun
