Our alternator on a 2000 beetle failed and the battery died. After this the air bag light stays on. Where is the location of the module and is there a way to reset this yourself by disconnecting power to the module?
This is common on the beetle. More than likely it's diagnostic trouble code 00591 E24.
It will need to be reset with vagcom or vcds software. A few known trouble areas on the beetle that trigger this light are the seat belt buckles and the wire connectors under the seat. I've seen the connectors get loose and not make contact, and in one case the wires severed from sliding the seat. You might check this before you clear and reset.
Good luck...i hope this helps.
No you can not reset the module. If your airbag light is on, you have no airbags, and you do need to have is serviced.
