How do you disable the passenger airbag on a Ford Probe?

Answer 1

SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS # Before replacing any air bag component, disconnect the negative battery cable and disconnect the orange and blue clockspring electrical connector, located below the steering wheel. # The air bag components are not intended to be disassembled. They should be replaced if they are defective. # The air bag wiring harness should never be repaired, if it is defective it must be replaced. # Never use an ohmmeter to test the air bag module. Doing so could accidentally deploy the air bag. # When carrying a live undeployed air bag module, carry it so that the trim cover is pointing away from your body at all times. # When placing a live undeployed air bag on a flat surface, make certain to face the trim cover upward at all times. # In the event that the air bag has been deployed, always wear gloves and safety glasses to handle the air bag assembly. The air bag may contain caustic material deposits. # Because of the content of the air bag assembly, a deployed unit must be properly disposed of. # The position of the crash sensors in the front end is very important, if the front end ever suffers any damage of any type, the sensors must be inspected. # If the steering wheel is ever removed, the air bag clockspring connector must be adjusted.
