(jetta no vanagon)

If you the location of the sensor is under the front doorsill plastic next
to
the driver's seat, it is a sensor for the airbag. It doesn't much matter
where
in the car it is as long as it can detect severe deceleration (as in hitting
another object at a high rate of speed). In my opinion its better that it is
put
where it is. if it was at the front of the vehicle, the impact could kill
the
sensor and the airbag might not go off. OUCH!! I had a '97 Jetta before I
got my
V'gon, and I saw the device you speak of.
