1999 Ranger air bag wiring diagram

[no class]

Does anyone have the wiring diagram for the airbags on a '99 Ranger?
I use the truck off road and would like to see if it's possible to modify the wiring so both bags turn on/off with the keyed switch. I'd like to have the airbag while on-road, but not so much off road.

where the airbag sensors are located on those, you would be taking some significant damage to deploy them off road, they're pretty high up on the core support. That being said, you could probably grab an airbag resistor out of an econoline based bus to make it think it still had an airbag connected, should you so desire but it probably wouldn't be the best (Read; stupid) idea unless it's a dedicated trail rig.

No easy way to do it outside of disconnecting BOTH wires in steering column, so double pole switch

As said the airbag can NOT deploy off-roading unless you were to hit a tree or other semi-immovable object, in which case the airbag may be a benefit, lol
Airbag is not "armed" below 35mph, and they don't detect vibrations or bumps, they detect sudden stops, and front sensor displacement/movement, i.e. collision
Airbags are usually not deployed in rollovers for these reasons

You could pull fuse 2 but will lose heat/AC blower/fan
fuse 15 is just the dash light, but pulling it would also stop alternator from working
