[A4] Vacuuming broke air bag?

[Brizax at aol.com]

mine was such a pain in the a$$ i resistor'd the wires and bypas'd the seat  
airbags in my a4, there is plenty of freeware vag software around if you 
search  hard enough

I am  currently fighting this battle.  What I did was disconnect  the
connector, sprayed the inside with WD-40 and reconnected them.   This has
worked so far (the past couple of months) but I'm not sure of the  long term
effects.  To turn the light off, and therefor make the  airbags work, you
need a VAG or something.  I have a Palm Pilot with  the ShadeTree software
that I got off of eBay.  It cost about $100 and  it works a treat.
Especially since the dealer charges $70 to clean and  reset the airbag light.

Later...
Richard
