Airbag Light?

[Taka Mizutani]

Derek-
These cars have a backup power source, so you need to be careful with
airbags- they can be set off with a strong static discharge.
 You may have disturbed an electrical connection- best thing to do is scan
for codes via VAG-COM- you'll need VAG-COM or similar in order to reset an
airbag fault.
