There is a sensor in the seat base to show when someone is sitting on it. Just take a wire off the sensors. If you look under the seat they shouldn't be hard to spot unless you have heated seats.

why is it people on here give advice they know sod all about?

 

 

If there isnt a switch built in to turn off the airbag fitted as standard theres 2 options.

 

one is to have the dealer fit one.

the other is have the airbag perminantly disabled via a resistor acrros the 2 wires going to the airbag you want disabling.

It needs to be done by someone who knows what they are doing and with the battery disconected.

I have done one and i think it was a 2 ohm resistor which acts as the airbag and doesnt throw the light on.

 

It is a very easy job for someone who knows what they are doing but i doubt there will be many posting in this thread.

Once again, it's down to me to supply the answer.

Simply drive the car at 75mph into something like a brick wall or a large tree. The airbags will go off. Then, simply snip them off the ones you don't want with a pair of garden shears or strong wallpapering scissors. Stuff the others back into their respective holes with a broom handle (for future mishaps) ... job done! :thumbsup::)

Please ignore Old Tom's advice at all costs, he is dangerously misinformed.
