Mine will not shut off until I plug the seat belt back in, but then my airbags turn on and off randomly even if there is an occupant in the passenger seat. This was the cheap fix.

Audi blames mine on the damage to the rear of the car, but the photos pre-date the damage to the rear bumper.
The passenger side air bag warning light stays on at all times. If their is no passenger the seat belt warning signal goes off. The seat belt must be engaged even though there is no passenger present in order to get the signal to stop dinging.
