It could be the fuse but is more than likely a fault with some other part of the system. You'll need to scan the system and se wha the fault codes are. When the airbag light is on it won't deploy in an accident so be sure to get it checked asap.
If you have a blank opening available in the box, you can move the connection from the back side of the box from the burned out one to the blank, be sure to disconnect the battery first. ( note: did you know on some VW's putting in an after market stereo can fry a code scanner, because the factory radio is an integral part of the car's electrical system). Good luck!
if you have a autozone in your state take the car there, they scan engine codes for free then replace the sensor that is bad.you will have to go to v-dub for the air bag .
this year of jetta has a know issue with the air bag connections under both front seats. fault codes for side air bags. check for warranty if those codes are there.
I fixed mine!! First check your ebrake switch by starting your vw and putting the ebrake on. If your daytime running lights stay on when the ebrake is engaged, its NOT the switch. Stay with me here. Turn vw off and pull fuse number 5. Mine was blown, but the legend only shows a pic of a book with an exclamation point. Meaning the book will tell you what it is, BUT IT DOESN'T . I replaced the 7.5 amp fuse and voila, victory. If it is not number 5, pull every fuse one at a time and inspect them closely. Do not assume, check each one. That is how I found mine after I bought and replaced the $10 switch. Running lights stay on because the switch is not being acknowledged, not because it is bad.
I searched every forum I could find on this and there were no answers to this problem anywhere. So I am posting so there is an answer out there. What put me on the right track was the running lights staying on when the ebrake was engaged after I put in the new switch.
no it wont. in order for the air bag light to go off you must get a VW air bag resetter. they sell for about 45 bucks. it will reset the light and crash data. since your airbag light is on the airbags are locked up. once reset they will work again. anymore questions give me an email...
