Default Passenger airbag disable

Hi Guys,

Just became the proud owner of a '99 vette. As I have a little boy, I'd like to take him out for a ride sometimes. To do this, I have to disable the passenger airbag, but as you guys know, there isn't a switch in a '99.
Is there a DIY method or a kit that can be purchased to disable the airbag? If so, what vendor?

Thanks,
Raymond

Come on... nobody any idea? Would pulling the no 16 fuse disable the airbag system as an interim solution?

Thanks,
Raymond

You need a switch. Do it the right way. I bought mine from AOI electrical. There are some other brands out there, you might do some research. I have no problems with mine, and trust me, you don't want any uncertain feelings when it comes to an airbag.

GM sells a disable kit - that would be your best bet.
