I got a couple of questions, I just bought my 1995 gt, and it has no air bags the guy sold them that I got it from... My question is is there some kind of delete plate I can buy instead of buying new air bags???? and 2nd IS there a way to get the air bag light off the cluster..

take off the cluster and pull out the bulb, super easy.

You can pick up airbags off ebay for pretty cheap (used ones of course)
or goto hicksairbagcovers.com, they make covers (quality is questionable)

Dont take the bulb out. Trust me the car is smarter than you think it is. Take the cluster out and put a small piece of black tape on the back side of the gauge face. If you take the bulb out of the car then every few minutes the car is going to beep at you letting you know that the air bag system is not working properly and that the bulb is not there to let you know that it is not working right. A buddy of mine at the dealership said ford done that to keep people from removing the bulb on used vehicles when the air bag system is malfunctioning and then selling it at good.

it will still beep if there is tape there, the air bag computer sets off a beep when there is any problem, like when it knows there are no bags. you need air bag simulators, they are like spout connectors that have a resistance that matches the air bags resistance so it thinks its there, i need to find one too to troubleshoot my system right now.

those hicks air bag covers are total crap. i was going to delete my bags in my old 94, got the covers and i was like " f this", so i bought new bags, which ended up saving my life.

so i guess their shoddy quality is the reason im not dead

Well, then I say remove the bulb anyway. And if it beeps, REMOVE THE BEEPER. I guess this is the airbag diagnostic monitor that is located behind the shifter console. I know that's where the "beeping" came from when I cleared my airbag codes.

With that said, I wouldn't recommend it. Bags can save your life.

UPR makes the deletes too. I have them. I took out the bulb and module so there is no beeping.

It shouldn't. You just have a light on. Now, if you remove that bulb to get rid of the light .... the ADM should start dinging.
