It only blinks, there is no control once you turn it off, hence people doing doughnuts and whatnot.

Also, a better option for disabling it permanently is to buy a reverse module someone on the board sells. So, when you start up the car, it's off, and you have to push the button to turn it on. Much safer than pulling fuses that kill your airbag.
