  • air bag question

    well i'm tiny. 5 foot 2 and at most 95lbs soaking wet. ne ways. i sit very close to the wheel. if ne thing was to happen and the air bag goes off, i have no doubt that i will get very hurt from the air bag. so i wanted to disable that air bag. but i wanted to leave the pass side air bag in tack. can that be done with out setting off ne dash lights?

    i seem to remember seeing an airbag simulator when you install a new steering wheel

    you cant do anything to your airbag and have the light on, your pass side will not go off

      Try to disconnect the yellow plug under the driver's side dash and see what happens.

      I have a feeling that you will need to disable the entire system.

        US patent No. 6624641 seems to indicate that GM has 4 different resistance values. The values range from .5 to 6 ohms in .5 ohm steps. Not much help, but perhaps a little trial and error are in order. Be very careful with airbags... they are explosive, don't probe the airbag with an ohm meter, the current in a digital ohm meter may be enough to detonate the airbag.

          you could just get a cute aftermarket steering wheel with no airbag
