hi i have 2 vans a 95 pymouth voyager and a 92 dodge caravan. when i turn on key it shows up Airbag light, now i have the book Haynes Repair manual for Dodge Caravan Plymouth voyager & chrysler town and country mini vans from 1984 thru 1995. But it doesnt talk about airbags in there. I wanna install a remote car starter but i know for airbages you gotta disconnect it some how so can someone tell me if it has airbags or not? and what to do to disable it so i can work on it so it doesnt go off

Not positive, The 95 will drivers side for sure and possibly passenger side also.

92 should also have driver side airbag.

To disarm airbags I have read in a manual to disconnect both battery cables and secure so they cannot make contact with anything to energise. Manual says airbag should be disabled after 2 minutes BUT I would wait for about 1/2 hour before doing anything.

Go to the thread Free Online Service Manuals in this forum, follow the instructions and pick your year and vehicle.

Yes something needs to deactivate in the system, I cannot tell you exactly what it is without reading it again but the manual will explain it better than I can. The manuals are not perfect but do have valueable information and procedures.

Your 1991 has only a driver airbag and yout 1995 has both, a drive and a passenger airbag

Here's a site that will explain everything you need to know about airbag lights and resetting the system.
On most vehicles, the airbag light should come on for @6 seconds, and then go off if the system is working properly. If there is a fault or a problem in the system, the light will remain illuminated, or flash continuously. If the airbag light does not work properly, some vehicles have an audible tone that sounds indicating a problem with the airbag light system. When the light is on (or the tone is sounding), the airbag will NOT deploy, even in an accident. Most systems can only be diagnosed using a scanner designed for the airbag system, however some use flash codes to indicate the problem. The scanners at Auto Zone or the ones that sell for @ $50 will not access the airbag system, only the engine systems (check engine light).
This website gives you the procedure for diagnosing and resetting some systems without a scanner. Some vehicle manufacturers accommodate that (like Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Infinity, Honda, Acura, Ford, Lincoln, Mazda & Mercury) and some require a scan tool. http://www.airbagsolutions.com/
