I have an 05 ram 1500 4.7L, today i was installing my cb radio in it when I ran into a little problem. I am powering the cb using the power supply instead of running wires directly to the batttery. When everything was finished I went and plugged the power supply into the back of the CB radio, I could not visually see the back, but for a brief second I touched the wrong connectors and it blew the fuse, well I replaced the fuse and it was all fine and working, but now my air bag light has come on at the control panel indicating it is faulty, I checked every fuse under the hood, they are all good. please tell me I didnt just fry something expensive.. I mounted the cb on the floor right by the cup holders by drilling screwing 2 holes into the floor. any help is appreciated.

no no, its ran to the cigarette lighter power supply, but when I went to plug it into the back of the CB radio, I could not see the back, and accidently touched the wrong wires. I meant back of the CB radio, not the stock car stereo

You didn't screw through some kind of air bag wires under the carpet, did you?

nobody has anything? am i wrong in assuming there is no airbag related wires being run on the floor by the cup holders under the carpet? I don't have airbags in the back of the truck or anything

I believe the air bag module is below the dash there. If the air bag light is on, have the codes filled and see why.
