Passenger Side Air Bag Again
 

I am going to purchase a 2002 Boxster S. When I took a test drive the passenger side air bad was deactivated and there was no baby seat involved. I asked the owner hoe he did that and he said the Porsche dealer did something that deactivated it for him but he didn't knowwhjat they did.

I did a search and think I'm more confused. Most posts indicated that the seat was required. There was one post that had a web site that showed a passenger side deactivation switch on a 2002 Boxster.

Can anyone tell me what the proper procedure is for the 2002?

Thanks,

Tom

The deactivation setup is like an additional seatbelt centered under the passenger seat. The deactivation buckle (male piece) originally would have come with a child seat but the buckle can be cut off the child seat and plugged into the deactivation bar/female recepacle without the seat present. On the car you drove, either somebody rigged something non-standard, or the bar/buckle were present under the passenger seat and you didn't notice.

Thanks, I went back and looked and there is a latch of some type in the slot.
