Wife has just had baby need to turn off passenger airbag on jaguar 2004 s type ,how do i do it

the airbag is held on by 2 plastic clips, they are shaped like a claw to release them you need a flat blade screwdriver to gently seperate the 2 parts of the claw. (there is a jaguar special tool for the job} insert the driver through the holes in the back of the steering wheel and twist 90 degrees. turn the wheel quarter turn to gain access.pull gently on the airbag at the same time, you need the driver to be the correct size its a bit of a pig to do, make sure you disconnect the battery first. the airbag electrical connectors are delicate so be careful, good luck

The air bag is on all the time unless there is a kid in the seat. There is a weight sensor in the seat try pressing on the seat with the seat belt bucked light on airbag off.

there are two sensors for the pas. side. one is the seat weight sensor.in seat cushion. the other is the space or ocupancy sensor. a post or bc post

The airbag system does not depend on a fuse, the power come directly off the ECM, the battery MUST be disconnected when working on the airbag system. The only fuse involved in part of this system is fuse #5 in the passenger compartment fuse box. It should be a 10 AMP mini fuse, red in color and that just protects the occupancy sensor and the passenger airbag de-activation lamp.

working with any airbag should only be done by a garage.

Look under the hood for the main airbag relay fuse you have to remove this.

You need to leave this one to the dealer as there is no key switch in this model like most GMs have. It is very dangerous working with the airbag system if you are not trained as the propellants used border on being explosive.

Beyond this, it is still a bad idea to put the baby in front unless absolutely necessary as the rear seat provides better protection.

it has to be turned off with the dealers computer,another way i do it for customers with a baby seat is to disconnect battery ----then locate air bag -- find the wires and cut one and fit a switch in glove box .
