Yeah I replaced my left rear one in the winter time, but I don't know if we have to reprogram them for the light to go off or not?

Did you do a function test and longitudinal acceleration sensor test? I can only find instructions for the A6, but it should apply to the A8. If you didn't complete the proper procedure, even replacing a faulty part will still leave the warning codes. Did you clear all codes through VCDS or have you been using OBDII?

I already have it downloaded. Just fixed my airbag light already. This things great. Now where do I go to do an active test? I didn't see anything on the bottom of the page...?

Clear the codes in the module, and start the car. See if that fixes your light.

Haha I tired that but the code didn't clear. I'll post the code on here later today.

You performed both procedures before clearing and it came back? I've got nothing else for you, beyond maybe checking the electrical connections and make sure they are clean, without sign of corrosion.

So, you didn't do the procedures listed before trying to clear the codes? You can't just clear them, those procedures need to be done before the codes can be cleared. If the light persists after performing both and trying to clear the codes, it's possible something is wrong with the motor you bought.
