Help - Airbag warning light is on

Featured Replies

Hi, got a bit of a problem with my car. I removed a door card and acidently shut the door while the door light was hanging down. This shorted + blew the fuse which is fair enough.

While I was parked up to get a new fuse I tried to stick the light back on temporarily with some double sided sticky and also the surround of the mirror adjuster as previous owner had superglued it :rolleyes:

Went to start engine, ignition shown the usual lights including the airbag one, started up and about 2 seconds later the airbag light came back on and stayed on.

Looked at the fuses and some of the ventalation system ones were missing so Ive replaced them but its still on.

I was going to try disconnecting the battery and seeing if that solves it, but if not does any one have any advice short of getting the codes read?

Thanks:thumbup:

Note: Battery voltage is 12.5V and Ive tried moving the steering column back and forth incase its a loose sensor in there

VAG-COM is normally best for clearing airbag faults.
