NOCK Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Is there not a fuse that you can remove? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherReeve Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 If you go under the passengers side dash unplug the big yellow plug, but the airbag light will illuminate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristopherReeve Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I have no idea, it seames kinda dodgy, just rip the light out from the dash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammo Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Yeah you can put a resistor in. What impedance though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris c Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 im sure you can go in through vag com and turn the airbags off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILTD Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Yeh, I'm going to have someone try to VAG COM it off.. Not just the low ride height, its the stereo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherReeve Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 How on earth is putting a resistor in more dodgy that ripping a light out? Ha it only takes 5 mins to get the speedo clocks out and the light pulled out! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammo Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 You can turn the passenger airbag off but not the drivers off. Due to baby seats suppose to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 The passengers side does not have a key switch like newer cars, so if one airbag is disconnected...........the whole lot gets disabled and a warning light pops up.If an airbag is removed and replaced with a resistor, this voids most insurances due to the safety implication if you are involved in an accident.........unless you declare and pay the premium on top.If they will insure you that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
