Change interior and airbag light came on is there any way 2 take it off besides taking it 2 the stealer. I even shut off the battery before installing the interior but it didn't help, I don't know what went wrong. I went back and took the door panels off again and they were plugged in. I don't know what went wrong. Thanks for any advice BIMMERTIME-07

what do you mean by changed interior? did you replace the door panels and seats or just disconnected the door airbags to replace the wood trim? either way, you can try an auto diagnostic tool but I am not sure if it will reset it and if the problem won't come back.
you either left a connector disconnected somewhere or if you replaced the bags there is an incompatibility between your car's stock air bags and the ones you put in.

LOL, yes do that. Make sure you're all plugged in though first. I believe that you probably didn't have it plugged all the way in, before connecting the battery. Lesson learned!
