I have a 05 3500 4 door 4x4 ctd drw. I need to disconnect my passenger air bag so I can put a car seat there . On my 01 I could just turn it off . I really dont care if it gets turned off for good in my 2005 but for now I need it off .

thanks

A friend of mine just got one installed on his 06. its on a switch so it can be turned on and off. got it at aberdeen chrysler center 1-800-874-9173 service manager should remember it. (only one they have ever done) let me know if you need more info!

Last I knew there was paperwork you could get that you have to submit to NHTSB for approval. I've been in the dealer ring for 12 years and have never done one.

You can have the switch put in, there are guys here who have done it. You'll have to get the paper work though.

i *think* I remember reading here or on the TDR that a computer re-flash has to be done to let the system know that there's a switch installed.

Maynards correct and unless you have a connection somewhere, no dealer will do it without the paper work.

I just read through my service manual and it doesn't specifically say that the computer has to be programmed after installing the switch. It does say the system has to be verified/tested with the DRBIII any time the airbag restraint system is worked on. But it doesn't say anything has to be "enabled" in the software after installing the switch.

The manual makes the switch sound like it is something special (internal resistors, multiplexed, blah blah blah) so if it were me, I'd go to the dealer and buy the factory switch. Or get one from a junk yard.
