View Full Version : Disabling passenger airbag talizman 29 August 2005, 23:32 Since the Impreza does not appear to have a passenger kill switch, what are you supposed to do with a rear facing child seat in the front? Is it possible to remove a fuse for example and render the airbag defunct? R22helipilot 15 September 2005, 23:11 I'd like to know the answer too. Come on somebody must know. talizman 15 September 2005, 23:16 Short of actually removing the entire unit and dropping it from the top floor of a multi-storey building (in the interests of scientific experiment of course!) I don't think it can be deactivated..... R22helipilot 15 September 2005, 23:21 Maybe after the next time I plant my scoob in a hedge I wont bother to get the airbag reset! Got a great photo, not sure how to post it though. talizman 15 September 2005, 23:53 Maybe after the next time I plant my scoob in a hedge I wont bother to get the airbag reset!

I had spent all weekend polishing it too! I do not appear anywhere in the photos, they are just amused by-standers. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/R22helipilot/Crash/06010021.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/R22helipilot/Crash/06010025.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/R22helipilot/Crash/06010026.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/R22helipilot/Crash/06010019.jpg New To Scoob 16 September 2005, 22:15 Short of actually removing the entire unit and dropping it from the top floor of a multi-storey building (in the interests of scientific experiment of course!) I don't think it can be deactivated..... I think it can be done, spoke to an auto spark about this previously. IIRC it involves disconnecting the seatbelt tensioner connection under the passenger seat then placing a resistor across the terminals to simulate the airbag still being connected. John. |
