I don't see explanation, just do like that and thats's all. What was that connector, what was removed? Was that some kond of pressure switch? I mean sensor for seat what check is someone seating on sear or not?

@@janisvinters8797 it was a connector… you said it yourself. It just continues the flow of current. Not a switch or any kind. Audi recommends this fix. Thx

That was very helpfull, thank you. Thumbs up.

good video thanks

Hello, how are you... I have a 2002 3.0. Disassemble the steering wheel to change the starter switch and when I assemble everything again, the airbag light turns on, check if I counted it correctly and if I did, but it stays on and before this repair it was not on. I annul the connector and put it direct?. Thanks.....

do u think its gonna work on GOLF MK5 2005 ? I got the same problem dude !

I get the airbag light, but no airbag fault code on my scanner 🤣😂 I just wiggled the yellow connector and it's interesting to see that the red light went off then back on again. Leads me to think that this fix will work for me too. I'm worried about disconnecting the battery because I don't want to lose the use of the CD player.. I don't care about the radio but I want to keep the CD player working

Golf MK4 N153 resistance too high driver side airbag, should this fix work thanks...

Hello mate I have code 01638 rear crash sensor? Could this be the issue as I'm unable to resolve the problem that's for your advice :)

I have a 2002 VW Passat Wagon GLS V6 4Motion, my airbag light came on and I had it diagnosed at the dealer. They said it was the passenger side curtain airbag that is causing the fault. Would I use the same procedure for the passenger side? Or do I need to replace the airbag?

HI. Is it necessary to replace the plug with a permanent connection? Or maybe you can clean the plug ... if it helps?

Obviously, the problem is poor contact inside the connector, but apparently it's a very common issue and Audi does indeed recommend cutting the connector and hard-wiring it instead.

Hi! AudA6 2005. Error code 01219 --> Rear Driver side AirBag problem. Problem can be fixed by the same way (under driver seat)?

I had a problem in my audi a4 b7 notice everytime i open drivers door light comes on and check airbag igniter driverside. What color of th e wire in the door there are bunch of wires.

Are they all on drivers side I have 2006 Audi a4 convertible

i have the following error : fault 00654 seat belt tensioner igniter, driver side (N153) 001-upper limit exceeded MIL ON. I followed what is on the video and it did not work what could be the problem?

Ok so this video is how to remove and by-pass a poor connector under the seat.

I have done this repair, it remained off for a day or so but has now come back on. Do I replace the crash sensor in the B pillar next......? Thanks.

@@Naughty_Squad it wasn’t the connector or the sensor that was at fault. If you remove the seat back and look along the bottom, you will see a horizontal metal support, this breaks and creates a sharp end, this sharp end rubs on the wiring loom for the airbag. It eventually pushes through the wire insulation and creates the fault, because it earths whichever wire it breaks into. Seat back removal, prise gently from the top, looking down you will see where it’s held, use a long flat blade screwdriver lever the seat back off at both sides, take care it’s quite fragile, bottom part will come off when you pull it straight up.

Is it the same procedure for the POWERED SEATS???

I tried your solution. But it didnt fix the problem. It says this 01222 Active/Static Side airbag crash sensor, passenger side - G180 - open circuit I removed the clip under the chair. The yellow clip. From the floor Black seat to blue floor Blue seat to White floor These colours were in this clip. The brown i didnt connect, its just hanging there. But it Will not reset U got an clue whats wrong ? When i watched live data from my computer who was plugged in i could see there was " too high " problems on driver seat also. But didnt get it as an error on the computer. Help please Cheers

Of course. The purpose of the connectors is just in case you need to remove the seat from the car. Joining the wires together just takes the connector out of the equation. The electricity just flows through the wires instead of through the wires, through one side of a connector, another side of the connector then the wires again. Nothing is different until you need to take the seat out of the car..... Then you'd need to cut your wires to have that separation. I'll try and draw a little diagram. --------| |--------- --------| |--------- (that's the wires with a connector) -------------------- -------------------- (that's the wires that are joined together). Electricity flows through both, but the second one doesn't have a dodgy connector that's causing the error code.

I was thinking the same thing. I wouldn't have used those connectors in the first place those don't connect very well.

Tried this on mine after doing the wire the God damn light still comes back on, it goes off for a second then back on, I scanner I had to pay for said passenger side airbag open circuit continuous

why would you use a pair of grips/pliers to close the inline crimps ? you have no guarantee of a proper compression joint. anything other than dedicated crimpers is a bog job and likely to fail in the long run. tapeing and double tapeing the joint ???? this person is definitely no auto eletrician, has the answer but not the means to do a professional job.

hey i have code 01222 will this fix that?

If the trouble code is for passenger side, the connector is under passenger seat and if it's driver side code, then it's under the driver seat? Or only one connector for both sides? Thanks in advance
