Anyone know what code airbag code 36 means on a 1999 Mercury Mountaineer I am not looking to fix it myself just want to make sure I am not being ripped off Thanks?

Answer 92 Sable air bag 32 code

this is probably of no help - may be it will give you an idea.
my 1992 Sable GS 3.0 developed a 32 code (air bag). Turns out the problem is caused by the "clock spring" which is the electric harness inside the steering wheel. Cost me $95 for that diagnosis and a $ 600 estimate for "fixing" it.
Problem remains unsolved.

I had a 2002 mountineer that was flashing 1-9. I decided not to pay the price to find out specifically what was at fault because I had already paid for what was stated as the resolution. I was told by a ford mechanic the best guess was the "clockspring" which I ordered on the internet for about $60 and installed it myself with no prior experience removing air bag and steering wheel in about 2 hours in the hot sun. Dealer quoted time was for one(1) hour. IT SOLVED MY PROBLEM!!!! I am very pleased. Hope this helps,. Al
