Angry Damned Blinking Airbag Light (continued)?

As I posted previously, my airbag and exclamation lights are constantly blinking after start up. I tried the reset procedure (using a stop watch for exact timing) several times, to no avail.

My mechanic who installed my new clutch had no idea, thinking maybe it was a problem with my Airbag computer.

I won't pass inspection with the stupid lights flashing, and the airbags wont deploy in this state.

What else can I look for to fix the blinking lights? Any ideas?

The blinking lights are blink codes. There is a fault in the airbag system somewhere.
I'll try to dig up the blink codes for you.

edit:
Found it on Clark's garage, but it's too long to copy & paste.

It's not blinking SOS or anything. It's constantly blinking rappidly, all the time. If you can find a fault code for that, that would rule!

Did you use the clark's garage method to make it show the blink codes?

Uhhh...nope. I thought Clarks just shows how to reset the lights via the wire to ground method? Are there other instructions about the blink codes?

Yep, it's in the other airbag link.
It's somewhat similar to how to reset it.

Any idea where the front sensors are? I have to perform the test, but many of the fault codes point to the sensors needing replacement.

Hmm, I believe they are mounted on the aluminum bumper behind the bumper cover, but beyond that I don't know. Hopefully somebody better versed in the airbag system can step in here?

Have you found the problem? Mine is always blinking and can not find the cause. And the diagnose...well i can not diagnose it, because there is no response from the diagnose socket.
Mine is a 964
