Air bag sensor is unplugged or you have a problem with bag. Take it in and have the computer reset to see if that clears it...if not...you need to have it fixed.

Two things can happen.....either your bag will not deploy when you get into an accident...or....it will deploy for no reason while you are driving down the road. Believe me...you don't want either to happen.

i would say who ever did the repairs f**ked it up you should take it back to them and get them to fix or at least look at it. the last thing you want is your airbag to go off while your driving around

take it back to where u got it fix or better yet if u have a friend or family member thats good wit cars get them to check it out first cause sometimes when theye fix stuff they mess things up so u have to come back but ur airbag light could be stuck on because it might b offset my sister light was on for a while and when i took it to the dealership they said it got messed up because of to much weight was on it and i realized my i had my friend who is 300+ in the passenger seat so it got offset hope it helps

No, sorry. Can you get the dealer to look at it? Shouldn't they need to fix that since the installation of the new parts may have caused it? I'd call and see.

Have your local shop scan the vehicles computer and they will be able to find out what is wrong.

Sounds like they didnt reset the airbag system or that maybe the airbag isnt properly installed.

Take it back to the repairer and do so asap, if it isnt installed properly and you have another accident it could cause more harm then good.
