airbag light staying on. Mk4 wheel.
« on: 30 June 2012, 15:02 »
changed wheels and now the airbag light is staying on.

I did leave battery connected if that makes a difference. Can't see why it would though.

anyone had this problem? Couldn't see anything in the search.

help me  :grin: I hate having problems

not a option for me, I don't like that idea.

is there no way of getting it off then?

Clear the code and it should be fine, it will be because you left the battery connected.

Cool will have to take it somewhere. I've took the battery out to charge overnight hopefully it will go when I put it back in, doubt it though  :sad:

Sod disconnecting the airbag whilst it's still connected to the battery.

Knocked that fireman on his a$$! Don't appreciate how powerful air bags are as they are a "safety" feature
