disconnect airbag?

hello, im actually posting this for my brother, but he bought a racing steering wheel for his 98 ranger. It has airbags and i was curious if anyone has any experience removing the stock steering wheel and disconnecting the airbag. Im well aware that to be safe i have to disconnect the battery and maybe pull a few fuses as well so i dont get a face full of airbag. But if anyone could point me in the right direction as to how to go about doing this id greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Re: disconnect airbag?

Disconnect BOTH battery cables (just to be safe) and wait one minute before doing anything.
You're going to wind up with an airbag light on after the installation. I took the passenger seat out of a Ranger and had to solder in a resistor to mimick the auto belt tensioner(also monitored by airbag module). Maybe you can do the same.
I wouldn't recommend trying to figure out the resistance of an airbag unit using a DVOM though.
