How do you disengage a passenger air bag from 2004 Chevy Express?

You cannot disengage a passenger-side airbag in a 2004 Chevy Express (or virtually any vehicle) yourself. There's no readily accessible switch or mechanism to do so. The airbag system is integrated into the vehicle's electrical system and is designed to deploy only under specific crash conditions.

Attempting to disable the airbag yourself is extremely dangerous and could lead to serious injury or death. The system is complex, and improper manipulation could render it ineffective or even cause unintended deployment.

If you need to transport a child in the front passenger seat, you should use a car seat appropriate for their age and weight, and correctly installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Many car seats are designed to be used with the airbag deployed, but some are specifically designed for use with the airbag OFF. Check your car seat's manual and follow its instructions carefully.

The only safe way to potentially disable a passenger-side airbag is by having a qualified mechanic do so. Even then, it might involve significant modifications and might not be possible depending on the vehicle's airbag system. This would typically only be done for specific medical reasons or in situations where a front-facing car seat is necessary, and only under the guidance of a qualified professional. They might need to use a special diagnostic tool to reprogram the car's computer.

In short: Do not attempt to disable the airbag yourself. Consult a qualified mechanic or your vehicle's owner's manual for proper child passenger restraint procedures.
