Slap the cubby hole downward, this will unsnap the plastic cubby and switch cover. There's a total of 4 screws that take a 7mm then everything just drops right out. two phillips holds the switch to the bracket.

Hello,

My apologies in advance. I know your post is asking how to remove this passenger airbag switch.
I'm looking to install one.
I just can't seem to find any information out there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You want to install a switch or you need the control module pictured above?

If your 97 Ranger has a passenger side airbag, it will already have the switch

In 97 the passenger side airbag was an option, you may not have one.

Need more info to help you. What's the situation you're dealing with that you need to install the purchase & install the control module & switch. Those parts don't fail very often and usually any model that has airbags, that's not usually a part that is removed. The switch is pretty easy to wire up, but I've read that the control module requires a very specific and delicate install and calibration. Not sure how true that is. A google search for "1997 Ford Ranger Airbag Control Module" turns up plenty of results on Ebay. You can also try car-part.com, I've had a lot of luck finding odd parts there. Can't find much in terms of a wiring diagram. Do you have any wiring for the control module in place? If not, it's going to be a real PITA.
