I left the window open in the car, and it is -30 here in canada and snow filled the passenger side of the car. i cleaned out the car, nothing seemed to be wet, but when i started the car the air bag light came on... is there anything i could check to solve the problem my self, or should i leave it and let it dry out?

I think this car has an air bag sensor in the passenger seat. the air bag is usually off untill a person sits in the seat which a pressure switch turns on the air bag. Moisture has probably made contact with connection. I would go under seat and disconnect electrical connections and use a hair dryer to dry connectors.

2009 Touareg passenger side windshield wiper arm does not move but driver side does

sounds like the connecting rod between both wiper arms either broke or one of the keepers popped off under the connector for that arm..since the wiper system IS NOT designed to wisk snow off the window once accumulated, this can an does happen.. even seen motors get burned out doing this..cleaning the window first will save this issue and the equiptment. need to acess this arm<take off the vented peice below the windshield and everything should be visible there..repost findings
