The 2008 Ranger uses weight sensor to determine if an adult or child is using the passenger seat

You should see "pass airbag off" light when this occurs

Go here to get 2008 owners manual: https://www.ranger-forums.com/genera...1-models-3747/

Page 74

Manual deactivating an airbag may do the opposite of what you want, if SRS module sees a problem it may deploy airbag as the "default" setting in an accident, don't know

Buckle up the 7 year old, seat belt needs to be on to do weight test, and see if "pass airbag off" light comes on
