I have a 1997 Chevy K1500 that has the internal part of the passenger air bag shutoff switch broken. Is there a way that I can enable the passenger air bag without the switch?

    The part that he broke is the part the key goes in. The rest of it is ok. If he hadn't lost the parts I could use it. All I want to do is turn it on permanently and put the piece back in the dash.

    Can I just unplug the switch and have the airbag not deploy?

Did you check fuel pressure to make sure you are getting proper fuel pressure? If it will start with starting fluid then it has to be either fuel related or electrical. Are you getting power to your fuel relay? When you turn the key on can you hear your fuel pump come on? I would not use anymore starting fluid at all to try and start it other wise you cause major problems.

Good chance it's the resistor . Will be in circuit between switch and blower, usual locations are on ducting under dash on passenger side, or behind glove box. Locate wires coming from blower motor, and follow them back to resistor.

Testimonial: "Thanks, I'll try replacing the resistor."
