Re: Way to disable passenger airbay in '97 TJ?
The ideal solution is to fit the Airbag cutoff switch. It looks like this
http://www.jeepsareus.com/Merchant2/...Code=Wrangler8
(looks like this just has the bezel). Anyhow, to work it you just insert the
ignition key and turn a key switch; a warning light is illuminated on the
bezel.

The NHTSA has a form that you can fill in, and the dealer will install a kit
for you that disables the passenger airbag just like in the later models.

Actually, in the States we found that people put kids in the front seat of
trucks, and the Jeep Wrangler is listed as a truck. We have a means of
adding a passenger side airbag bypass switch to keep children in the front
seat safe. Well, as safe as can be expected riding in the front seat ...

Re: Way to disable passenger airbay in '97 TJ?
My '02 TJ had a passenger side air-bag cutoff switch standard. My '06 TJ
does not have a cutoff switch.
This is progress???
