Default Airbag Warning Light

Light came on yesterday on my '05 A8L. Very wet here yesterday and car sat outside for a while. Wondering if humidity could cause this? Anyone have a similar occurence? Thoughts on possible causes would be helpful. Thx

Default Put anything large in the back seat?

I discovered the other week my flat panel 24" screen turns on the airbag warning light.

How bizarre, my air bag light has been on for a while, there was a dell 32" strapped on the back seat, i could clear the error using VAS and it would come straight back!

I cleared it last week and it stayed away, guess what??

The TV is gone!!!

Strange!!

Default There has to be some sort of sensors back there....

On my of my friends sat in the back and didnt put on his seatbelt and the light went on. He buckled up and it shut off.

I dont think this is a code that can be cleared without removing the objects.

Same thing happened to me. Took it to the dealer and they updated the software and said that it was a software problem. Came back on again last week so it will go back to the shop next week. I will let you know what they say. Mine is a 2007 A8.

Default Here is what the dealer said about the airbag light.

The dealer said that the airbag light was because of a bad connector in one of the airbags.
