I replaced the directional lever in my 05 new beetle and watched the Subaru trained mechanic closely. You can either remove the airbag assembly or disconnect it.. The sensors crash sensors might be the cause but if you want the light out you have to remove the steerign wheel (easy to do) there are two releases that release the cover over the wheel . they are compression releases not torques or screw heads. you apply pressur eon them and they will release and you will see the clock spring and the air bar and horn wires. if you disconnect the battery you will NEVER set off the airbag.... (keep that in mind) dont break the plastic clocksprign its an expensive part. keep the wheel in one position once you have started disassembly...
The light is on because there is a problem with the SRS (air bag system). Have this repaired by a professional and they will turn the light off.
If your air bag light is on , with the engine running , that indicates a malfunction in the air bag system - get it checked out
I had problems with the odometer not working. When they replaced my cluster the light for the air bag went out.
Just turn off the air back service light..

The air bag light staying on indicates a malfunction with the air bag system take it to a professional for repair
Bought my used 2003 Beetle with this light glowing & after 2 trips to the DEALER it was determined to be the seat belt latch on the drivers side.
There is a problem with the air bag system. Until it is fixed the light will remain on. Take it to a garage for repair.
===Answer:=== Pull the plugs-if you're asking how to turn it off.
You need to have the air bag system checked by the dealer before something bad happens. I believe your air bag system is under warranty for life. Don't try to repair this yourself. It could be very dangerous.
You have a problem with the Air Bag system. Have a trained professional repair the SRS. He will reset the light when the system is repaired. Not a DIY repair.
theres a recall on that go to a dealer it should be fixed the air bag can go off at any time
