Air Bag On-off Switch problems of the 1996 Mazda B2300

Two problems related to air bag on-off switch have been reported for the 1996 Mazda B2300. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Air Bag On-off Switch problem

I have tried for over a year to get my passenger airbag either installed with a switch or simply have it disconnected. Mazda simply will not provide satisfactory service. My original dealer is gone and now I have bill roger's Mazda in albany oregon. I called locally, called hq, wrote a letter and was told I could buy a brand new miata. If I had wanted a miata, I would have bought one in the first place. I have a one-year old grandson I will not place in danger. Can I use the same certification to have it disconnected by someone else other than Mazda? do I have to sell the truck to get this resolved? or do I simply hit the darn thing with a baseball bat to get it to deploy? I am very frustrated with this. Please help me. Thank you.
