Air bag issue, not the seat sensor
So I drove up to WA. from So. Ca. (1250 miles) to visit an old old old friend. We decided to do some paint work to my 05 CL65 (B-Silver). We had to remove the passenger side door panel. I unplugged the air bag and forgot which way it plugs back in. My car's harness connector is UN-keyed / its symmetrical ! I didn't see any keys to how it goes back in the air bag unit. The body and paint work turned out great ! I had a shopping cart ding in the right door and a palm size dent in the top where I ran the car on my lift into my garage rafters. Gary is a fantastic body man he can work the metal back so close its like magic. He did say the aluminum on the door was amazingly hard to move around.
Does anyone know how the connector should be installed. It does connect two ways, may be OK ether way (Odd to ME).
I have a hard red service alert that seems to be staying there which ever way I connect the air bag. Does this module need a star to clear the fault ?
I ask this because my seat sensor does come on from time to time but resets itself using that as a guide shouldn't the bag do so as well.
I guess the connector or air bag pins may need further inspection for flaws..
P.S. The car ran so so nice ! and my ABC accelerometer issue has another 3k miles with no more problems !!!

More than likely you will need to reset the warning light via DAS. Let me see if I can pull up the wiring diagrams and give you some colors to look for.
That would be helpful, the harness connector
housing is very distinctive and when its installed into the air bag looks very different in the two possible ways.
