Any electronic experts out there ?

I replaced all the electrolytic caps, and the "fuse" resistor.

I still get "3-blinks".

I measured ALL the "silver" diodes (I think they are zener) and I'm getting an "open circuit" when measured both ways, which supposedly means they are "open".

I'm using a Fluke 79 DMM set to the "diode" setting.

The green banded diodes are "open" one way, and I do get a resistance of about 250-ohms the other way.

Am I doing something wrong ?

Can it be that all of the diodes are bad ? Seems unlikely. . .

If I do have to replace them, what's the specs. Only markings are the silver band and a "4", rotate the diode, and then either a "D" or a "O".

They about the size of the 1/4-watt resistor "fuse".

Anyone know the transistor pn#s ?

Thanks,
:-) neil

Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I just pulled my airbag diagnostic module today and am about to open it up. Any insight would be appreciated.

Thx

Where do I look for the "open-circuit" or "poor connection of power source" ?

Priority | Flash Code | Cause/Diagnosis

1 | Remains on | Faulty Diagnostic Module or Poor Connection at Diagnostic Module

2 | Flashes 3 times | Open Circuit Or Poor Connection Of Power Source Circuit

3 | Flashes 5 times | Faulty Front Impact Sensor

4 | Flashes 10 times | Faulty Diagnostic Module Due To Open System-Down Fuse

5 | Flashes 4 times | Faulty Rear Safing Sensor

6 | Flashes 6 times | Faulty Air Bag Module Or Poor Connection At Clockspring

7 | Flashes 9 times | Open Circuit Between Diagnostic Module And Front Impact Sensor

N/A | Remains Off | Damaged Warning Light Circuit

I know this is old but I wanted to post for completion sake. In a 94/95 the Airbag modules are different. The big capacitors are replaced by 4 3300uF 25V capacitors. Just in case anyone is trying to fix their modules on a 94 etc.
