Default 1995 Ranger 4cyl. five speed.......

Can the passenger side air bag be disabled or a switch put in to turn it off when needed? Going to put the car seat in that side and can't the way it is. Dave

I could be severly wrong so don't do this without further information.

Disconnect the positive battery cable. Pop the cover off and unplug the airbag and put the cover back on.

I would not put a switch in unless you had all the correct info. If the airbag is improperly disabled then it will go off.

Thanks Joshua. I wil wait for some more of the resident experts to chime in here but I thought that something like that would be possible. I surely wouldn't want to pop the plug off and have it go bang. I saw one going bang right up close once.... possibly saved my life. Dave

If you are installing a car seat for a child I would accually pull the air bag and unplug it then just put it back in, the truck will run and drive like normal but the air bag light will stay on just a small price to pay to keep your lil one safe
Or to be super safe just take the air bag out all together, the saftey of my lil boy comes over the looks of my truck.
