Electrical problem
2003 Audi A3 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 65k miles

I have a airbag warning light on and was wondering if i removed the fuse for it to switch it off would the airbags still work if i was in a crash. i did get the airbag light checked but was told it was the side airbag and that it would be a big job to fix as i would have to replace the airbag.

Hi there, while the SRS light is on, the entire system is disabled and will not deploy during a crash, this problem will have to be resolved before the system is enabled again.
