Have a read of This page (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/airbags.htm) and see if you can identify the codes. If it is the clockspring then This page (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/manual/interior/airbags/abclocksprng.pdf) might help.

Hiya Danno

firstly welcome to the site

right down to your problems,

the number one question an all things leccy related on these cars is... does it have a battery cover fitted? if not water enters the battery side fuse box, they needs to be stripped down and replaced if this has happened, (not as bad a job as you'd think)

2. has the main fuse board been messed with? the large multi plug is a b****r to replace correctly

as for the air bag, a dry joint in the system somewhere or it could be related to the problems above, disconnect the batt for half hour and see if that clears it

Welcome to the site Dan. I can tell you this: you won't find a better site for info and help for your scorpio. The advice given should not be taken with a pinch of salt, they know what they are talking about and could save you serious money with a lot of knowledge about the car along the way.
