2008 Colorado Airbag Deactivation

I own a 2008 Chevy Colorado Z71 Ext. Cab. A Rear Facing baby seat will not fit in the rear ext cab seat. The only place I have for it is the front seat, but I do not feel comfortable having the airbag on with the baby sitting there. I know the truck has an on/off swith I'm just not the brightest at these things and was wondering if anyone knew how to turn the airbag off? Any suggestions will help. Thanks!

For my gm friends with newer vehicles (06 and up) if its anything like my truck there is a sensor in the seat. anyone or anything over 50 lbs. will trigger the sensor to turn the airbag on. otherwise the passenger side is always off. if that doesnt work, pop out your owners manual.

Usually you can insert your key in the slot thats near the airbag light in the dash and rotate it to turn it on and off

    I have the same 2008 Colorado and need to deactivate the passenger airbag for child protection, but my 2008 Colorado does not have the slot near the airbag light in the dash. Without that option, would you recommend removing a fuse and where would it be located?

Remove rear seat 1993 chevy 1500

I just took out my rear seat from my 1993 Cheyenne ext cab. Fold the back seat in the up position. There are 2 square stubs sticking out from each side that the hinge plates of the seat slip over. Take out the 5/8 bolt and washer securing the hinge plate to the stub--slide the seat assembly toward the rear of the cab--and lift up and out.
Once you have the right solution--it is a 5 minute job !!!

Seat belt pretentioner chevrolet colorado 2005

If the air bag light is on this is how I fixed it it was a broken wire going to the seat belt in the driver side rear door in my ext cab truck there is a black rubber flex where the wires run from the body to the door. If u pull on the rubber flex from the body and the door you should see wires on both side of the flex pull on the wires one at a time mine was broken in the middle of the flex then I pulled a new Wire in the flex and spliced it at both ends
