How do I temporarly disconnect the air bag system in a 2000 chevy blazer?

I need to replace the turning switch in my 2000 chevy blazer. I don't want the airbags to accidentally go off. I can't afford to take my car to a mechanic so I need assistance with this. So any advice will help. Thank you.|||The connector plug under the dashboard is typically yellow. Make sure you remove the negative cable from the battery terminal to do this. However, if you're just replacing the turn signal, then all you should really need to do is to disconnect the negative terminal. The airbag won't deploy. You can also disconnect the positive cable for piece of mind.|||Disabling an airbag system is both dangerous for some owners (drivers) and necessary for others. The guidelines set forth by the government will outline who qualifies for this procedure and why it may be necessary. There is much information on the safety concerns and the dangers involved in disabling these systems. Check out these quick movies and website to understand the importance of airbag safety.

If after you watch these videos you still want to disable the safety system on your car, here is the next step for you to take. Get permission to do so from NHTSA through this link…

(first section marked ‘Airbag On-Off Switch Request Form”)





Once you obtain the permission form, you can legally disable the system. Interrupting the power circuit will render the airbag system inoperative. Most vehicles have a fuse marked ‘SRS’, SIR’, or ‘Airbag’ in the main fuse block. If that is removed, the light will illuminate indicating the system is inoperative and none of the supplemental restraints will deploy if involved in an accident.|||there is a clip in the steering column you must remove but disconnect the battery first or you can hurt your car and yourself. be careful
