air bag warning

I just installed a new to me dvd/am-fm/usb/sd card pioneer avh p3300bt in my truck with rear view camera and aux video in so I can plug in another rear view camera from a rv. I'm pretty happy with my new radio, but, now my air bag warning comes on and stays on! I know the solution is remove the dash and see what I forgot...but, I was hoping someone would tell me so that maybe I can reach up from underneath and reconnect/correct my problem...

does it flash before staying on? If so it is throwing a code and you have to count how many blinks it does.

Example: two blinks :space: seven blinks =code 27 which means the bulb for the passenger side airbag off light is burnt out...

Theres a write up on it here somewhere. Pretty simple, pull your dash to pull out the airbag switch, pull that box apart, pull the circuit out of the inside, replace bulb with new bulb which will require soldering. Put back together and your good to go.

Yea its a simple fix, ive already done it twice. Fair warning (at least on mine), truck are old and in the Texas heat. The airbag box when you put it back in do not tighten to much. One of the ears on mine broke and I didnt think I was at all close to tight.
