Default Airbag light won't go off

I took my 2002 mini to the local car wash and had them detail it and give it a good waxing. When I got in it, after they were finished, the airbag light didn't turn off. It's been on ever since. Also, I have to pull on the door handle 2-3 times before the doors will unlock, even when the car is turned off. Is there any sort of "switch" they might have "flipped" ?

you'd have to see if they did unplug the connectors underneath the seat if they did then you will have to take it in to the dealer to have the computer reset
you can unplug them with the key off , but if you turn the kry on with them unplugged or plug them in with the ignition on the light is latched on

Oh wow. That sucks. The closest MINI dealer to me is 120 miles away! But thank you for your advice. It's much appreciated
