passenger airbag

[teej213]

Checked the manual, and searched the glove box with no luck…anyone know where the switch to turn off the passenger side airbag is in a 2019 Expedition?

I don't think there is a switch. I believe it's based on weight. no one sitting there, it's off. If something over a certain weight is on the seat, it's on.

This is correct.

Whilst some Ford models allow disabling the passenger airbags, the Expedition is equipped with sensors and it will determine itself if the passenger seat is occupied.

The front passenger sensing system is designed to disable (will not inflate) the front passenger frontal airbag under certain conditions:

• The front passenger seat is unoccupied.
• The system determines an infant is present in a child restraint.
• A passenger takes their weight off of the seat for a period of time.
• If there is a problem with the airbag system or the passenger sensing system.

The front passenger sensing system works with sensors that are part of the front passenger seat and seatbelt. The sensors are designed to detect the presence of a properly seated occupant and determine if the front passenger frontal airbag should be enabled.
