Important
Simply replacing the airbag module without fixing the blocked A/C drain can result in the same failure occurring again.
The source of the water leak should always be repaired before installing a repaired or replacement module.

Common Airbag Module Failure Caused by Blocked A/C Drain

At Autobunkerz, we regularly repair water-damaged airbag control modules found in Volkswagen, Audi and Skoda vehicles.

One of the most common causes is a blocked air conditioning evaporator drain. When the drain becomes blocked, water overflows into the passenger footwell and soaks the carpet insulation. Over time, the airbag control module becomes submerged, leading to corrosion, communication faults and airbag warning lights.
