$andman asked in Cars & TransportationSafety · 1 decade ago

how can I turn off a passenger side air bag?

my son rides in his car seat in my 99 corvette,there is no key switch to defeat the bag,it should not be used with a child seat

Update:

I realize there is no switch,but isn't an accelerometer used to trigger airbags?Probably located in the front someplace.It's location and instructions to disable it without setting off the bag would be useful

    In 99, there wasn't any vehicles I can think of that had switches to turn them off, so you are out of luck there. The car seat should not be used with an air bag, the switches and weight sensors are a result of a lot of little ones being killed by air bag launches

    be very careful attempting that/you can set off the front bags and its expensive/you cant just turn one off in that car because the alarms start to drive you crazy
