I bought my S14 like that, so I'm getting a new dash from my friend's shop...around 200 bucks, but what about the airbag? How can I reset it? I only want the pass. cause i'm getting aftermarket steering wheel for my side. I know nothing about airbags so I need little info from you guys if you guys can help me out. Thanks

With the drivers airbag out of the curcuit you can't turn the airbag lamp off do to a open curcuit. Don't know if you can jump the curcuit with out deploying the pass. bag.If the bags are already deployed you will need a new airbag cotroller. Airbag tampering can open one up to all types of law issues such as if you where in a wreck and a passenger got hurt and they found out you bypassed the airbags. Just thought I'd let you know.

Any body who tells you how to tamper with air bags opens themselves up to Federal and State FELONY prosecution and civil liability.

I wasn't gonna do that anyways. Couple hundred bucks better than someone I know getting killed because I have no airbags. I ain't stupid. I still want to know if S15 steering wheel will fit my S14 or not. I don't think aftermarket steering wheel is illegal is it? I want to say that it is but let's hope not.
