Like the title says, yesterday I replaced my old dash with a new one since my old one was scratched up... what a freakin' job that is, BTW.

Anyway, now I'm getting a "Service Stabilitrak" message. Not sure why, though there are two things that occurred with the reinstallation that I'm not sure why they would affect the engine or traction control system...

- I got a new steering wheel meant for a 2SS with the inferno orange package. It's got the extra buttons for the bluetooth and volume control on the right even though my car is a 1SS and doesn't include those options, so it's hooked up to my electronics as though it does. I don't know how to remove that plate from the steering wheel and replace it with my old blank blockoff plate so if you suspect this is what's causing the code, then please post with how I can do that.

- I didn't reconnect one of the cables - it's the one that goes to the red light night time sensor on the defroster grille. I completely forgot about it until the end and when I tried to reach for it, I couldn't touch it. There's no way I'd be able to access it again unless I remove everything again which I'm not willing to do, at least not until the scabs on my hand clear up.

Not too sure what either of these things would have to do with the stabiltrak being messed up, so any thoughts would be appreciated.
