[9musTang9er]

how do i take the driver and passenger side airbag out of my car? and does the airbag light come on and if it does how do i shut it off? looking to remove much weight as possible

First disconnect the battery, the remove fuse for airbag module. Then remove airbag.

The light will be on and set dtc's, but you can remove the bulb from dash.

im just worried when i go for inspection and they plug in the ODB II adapter will they know i dont have airbags? and how do i get the passenger side off??? i dont see how to get to it

Why do you want to remove the airbags?

It is an advanced system with passenger size sensing and safety interlocks. However, if you mess with it you could get seriously injured...

if you remove the air bags you will have to remove the RCM.. if you just unplug the bulb from the cluster the RCM will beep the codes to you. so remove both the RCM and the bulb from the cluster.

Removing the air bag system will not effect OBD2 testing for state inspection becuase they only test the PCM they do not test any of the other modules in the car.

some peoples cars are track only and they take them out due to wieght I'm assuming thats whats going on here Killy, cause I agree a street driven car should have them.
