IS there a safe/effective way to disable the passenger-side air bag on my '92 500E. We want the kids to be able to ride in the front without the air-bag worry.

Thanks

Mark
On your 1992 500E the SRS system can't disable passenger side air bag.
late model Mercedes you can switch off passenger side air bag.

There should be a way to go in and wire a resistor in to the cable after you disconnect it to keep the drivers side active. A tech will not do this though and I do not endorse this in any way.

For the sake of your children's safety I will trade you my non-passenger air bag 300E for your 500E. I will even screw a few stuffed animals to the dash for them to play with (also acts as extra padding).
