Need To Vent

This is why I am afraid to upgrade my stereo in my Z. It also sounds like lack of experience on their part. You would think the service dept can pin point the issue ,whats up with that?

Another reason to go DIY =) I know it's not for some folks...but changing a stereo is a pretty simple one.

I also had new components , dynamat, a sub and a amp installed. There is no way that I would personally try to attempt that.

That is quite a bit more involved... I would DIY it but I certainly understand that most would farm that out.

Did your shop run new speaker wires for the door speakers? Common practice is to bore a hole through the door wiring harness connector to slide speaker wire through. They may have damaged the wiring related to the airbag sensor.

Yep new speaker wires were installed. This was my initial thought -They damaged a wire that connects the sensors.

When the dealership scanned the car it showed that the sensor in the left door panel was bad. They replaced that sensor and still can't clear the blinking airbag light.

Cars are pretty complicated these days. IMHO, new stereos, major suspension changes, engine tinkering means that you have to be prepared for stuff like this to happen. Good luck, but I suspect you're stuck with it. I hope that the problem hasn't inserted itself into other of your electrical systems.

Following this forum for years, it's clear to me that problems like this are far from rare. Everyone should know that major or minor problems can realistically be expected when you "upgrade" components of your car.
