Recently I had the A/C serviced on my 98 Jetta GLS and the mechanic removed the passenger side airbag as part of his work. Upon re-installing it, the airbag warning light remained on. They said they tried (unsuccessfully) to reset it. Then I followed the procedure in the Bentley manual to reset the light but doesn't work either.
Is it possible something else got damaged in the airbag system? Is there anything else I can try to reset the light?
Thanks
Hector
I would guess they powered the car 'on' before they reconnected the airbag and set the code. I would also guess they don't have VAG-Com.

Since it's an A/C shop they don't have VAG-Com and it's evident they never disconnected the battery to do what they did... the radio was working.
Is still possible to reset the airbag controller now?
Not without a scanner.

Thanks Woodchuck. I guess I'll have to visit my nearest VW dealer
