well the smart a$$ smarts are not making my wife too happy with the idea of bring home the kid from daycare in the front seat with the chance that the airbag might activate. I wonder if there is a fuse for only the passenger air bag? The for four had the key switch on the side of the dash. I wonder if you can buy an aftermarket toggle switch?

There is only one fuse for the whole air bag system.

Apparently we in the US are not to be trusted with a switch and its use, like the Euros are.
