99 beetle...airbag system malfunction...is it just a fuse?

a couple months ago a took my 99 beetle into the dealer bacause an airbag sensor light came on. I don't normally take my car into the dealer to avoid paying three times as much as you would at a "trustworthy" mechanic. I read the manual and it said to take it into the dealer ASAP, as I did. When they said they were going to charge me $78 for labor just to look at it,... I refused. They ended up taking a look at it because it is a safety liability,...they ran it through the computer and were able to get the light to turn off. They said it was a problem with the passenger side airbag. A couple weeks later the light is back on again, can anyone help here? *I have a feeling this car may have been in a previous accident (I am the second owner) because the plastic frame on the passenger side door has a crack and I know there is an airbag behind the vinyl in the door.
