I'm having a couple of issues after replacing my window regulator on the passenger side.

I removed the door panel per instructions on this site. All went smoothly there. Before putting everything back together I connected the battery without the air bag in place. I temporarily hung the door panel and got the window adjusted so it sealed properly in the up position and verified it dropped down properly when the door handle was pulled. After doing that I disconnected the battery again and proceeded to reinstall everything. I installed the airbag and connected the wiring and rehung the door panel. Everything went back together as smoothly as it came apart. My problems are:

1. The airbag indicator on the dash is now illiuminated and won't go out. Do I need to have a shop clear this or should it have cleared on its own?

2. The window goes down, but stops about an inch above the doorframe. I didn't see any adjustment for this, but honestly didn't notice this when I was aligning everything. Is there an adjustment I'm missing?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Update: I figured out why the window wasn't going all the way down. On the regulator I purchased there were three positions for the bottom stop. The top position and the bottom each had a stop in it. I removed the top one and the window retracted properly. Still have the airbag light illuminated on the dash though. Triple verified the connection. so I'm guessing it's going to require a reset of the code???

Yes, once an airbag code has been triggered you need a tester to reset it.
