Planning on ditching passanger airbag as it weighs a tonne, and as i have harnesses wouldn't be much good. Drivers airbag has already gone in place of a deep dish steering wheel.

Question is, I could just connect a resistor capacitor jobby into the circuit to trick it into thing the air bag still remains but would like to do the job properly and ditch the control unit. Am i right in thinking the airbag control module is the one under the middle of the rear seats? If i remove this and associated wiring and any supply to it will it cause problems and bring up the light on the dash? if so how do i prevent this from happening. Can anyone help? Has anyone already done this?

I had a resistor to get rid of the airbag light, it worked for a while but every now and again the light would come back. I just desoldered the airbag LED in the cluster.

There must be but I've never seen it/them. Unless it's controlled by an inertia type switch..
