Passenger Side Air Bag ?

I have a 05 Qcab and I really want to disconnect the passenger side air bag. Both air bags if I have too. On my 02 it had a switch to turn it off. Somebody somewhere knows what wire to cut or fuse to pull or something to deactivate this air bag. Your time and thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks

Well it may not be a good reason to some folks but I will tell you why I prefer to have mine turned off. I ranch and feed alot of cattle. I drive my trucks off road everyday, usually at slow speeds, but sometimes we end up chasing some cattle that may be in the wrong pasture etc.. and I have 2 small boys who is my shadow and its almost impossible to keep them in the back seat. They want to be up front where the action is....and I let them drive some too. They are a little over 13 months old, and even though I understand that the airbag system is designed to require a significant impact to deploy I would rather not rely on Dodge electronics, espicially when it could harm my little men.......you know what I mean. I just feel better knowing that there is no chance that we might drop off in a sink hole, hit the embankment pretty hard and one of my boys get a broken neck or some other serious injury from the air bag....this type of thing happened more often a few years ago than it does today, but for those of you who live a similiar lifestyle with children you understand.

If I only knew what the sensors looked like and there location I think I could either unplug them or cut the wires.
I am hoping someone with more Dodge knowledge than myself can advise.
Thanks....

Not positive, but I believe that there is a fuse for it under the hood. That will disable both air bags. Then you could put the fuse back in before you get back on the road.
