turning off my airbag

[vqdave]

I have an old nail last shape prelude, and would like to get the kid in it every now and then but to get her in the front seat i need to de activate the front airbag. Now would anyone know if i just pulled the SRS (airbag) fuse from the fuse box would this turn them off?

Cheers all.

Only 100% certain way of checking is to remove the fuse, and drive directly into a wall at 30 mph.

removing the fuse ought to do the trick, but be prepared to have the dash light up like a christmas tree. And check that it's just the bags that you've disabled.

Also check with your local Honda dealership........

I was going to turnoff the passenger front airbag in my last bmer due to the children issues but the dealer wanted a signed statement that if it was turned off they BMW would not be responsible for any injuries etc

Are you saying that after 30 years you still turn her on?

Blairs bloody britain again, of course its not the manufacturers fault if i drive into a wall not wearing a seatbelt, drunk with no airbags!! I had a new Mini and i had a switch where i could turn the bag off on the passenger side and it was my decision to spec that and then use it.......

I reckon pulling the fuse will do it, and if the dash lights up so be it, its only one little light.
