My kid would love to go with me on wheeling adventures, but she gets kind ofsick in the back. I think she'd do better up front. How do I disable theairbag?-jeff

The long term solution bet is to get the cut off switch whichlooks like this: get it wired in properly. As for the link above, it doesn't mentionhow you get the right one for your key, so I could be careful if youbuy one.Dave Milne, Scotland'91 Grand Wagoneer, '99 TJ

I didn't pick up on the idea that the trail was the problem. I thought the issue was just having the kid in the front seat going to and coming from the trail.

Yeah, that's it exactly, though I would not want it armed while offroading, either. I kind of like the lil' nipper ! I just want it off, period, if she's up front.
