I can't find the abs compueter in my 1998 VR6 Golf.

Most cars have several computers. For ABS brakes and traction control, it's usually in the engine compartment. For other functions, could be engine compartment, trunk, under a front seat, under the dash, in a kick panel next to the driver or passenger seats, etc. Also look under the rear seat, especially if the battery is located there.

Most seats are attached to the floor by bolts.
- Slide seat all the way forward and remove rear bolts
- Slide seat all the way back and remove the front bolts.
- Unplug any wires.
- Remove seat.
This process will involve looking under the seat so a kneepad and flashlight may make it easier.

Check connections under the seat if they are connected it is a problem within the wiring or a fuse refer to the user manual for fuse locations

under the front seat....

look under the seat to see if the cable that connects the 2 sides is ok,,

Sounds like either you did not connect the seat belt restraint wiring when the seats where put back in. This is a common problem. You will need to look under the seat and make sure that there are no loose wiring at all. The SRS is for the seatbelts.

THE ECBM IS UNDER THE DASH.CODE 43 LOSS OF POWER OR GROUND.CHECK THE FUSE AND ABS RELAY.

The pump is in the fuel tank. It can be accessed under the right side of the rear seat.


Disconnect the lines and wiring harness and turn the big black plastic locking nut counter clockwise till its loose. Pull the pump unit out straight up and reverse procedure to reinstall.

check your flashers
