yeah if anyone knows where the little connectors are under the seats of a b5 that would be nice and also where they are in the seat themselves... maybe i could put a end to this air bag light madness

 

how did you cleared yours?
Mine is on forever, today I ran a vag-com diag. and got the airbag error code, cleared it, the light switched off in the dashboard just for 5 seconds and got back on... so how do I turn it off? Can I do it using vag-com?

 

Clearing it is the best you can do. In mjvss21's case it must've been a 1-time error, in your case there is probably a problem with the connector as there is with mine. I still havent gotten a chance to look up how much a new connector for the steering wheel one costs [:@] Maybe i'll try the stupoid zip-tie idea. Then again it IS an airbag, maybe keep safe and not ghetto-rig it if the connector isn't TOO overpriced

Man I am dreading when this happens to me.. Sounds like its highly likely....

 

I just took my car in today for the airbag light. The dealership said there is a service bulletin for this issue. They were able to fix pretty quickly.

My receipt says the Technical Bulletin 69-05-06 had not been done.

I don't know if that applies to all cars but I suppose it could be worth checking out.

This happen to me also, I will look under the seat and will clean out the connectors. is there any way to clear out or reset these errors without useing a Vag..?

 

Mine came on for about 2 weeks like 6 months ago and thats the last I saw of it.

 

so i should bring it to a dealer and have them look at it and see if it's covered for free? they wont charge me to look at it will they?

 

bring it in and tell them your story and then see what they can do and check to see if warrenty or if they will cover it
