you can't take everything out, did you leave the little black piece that the grey plug goes into? If you take that out you will get the vsc and trac off lights.

You should be fine if you just unplugged the airbag and horn plugs.

can you post pics of the hub with the plugs?

I took that part out, under that is another piece that plugs into another harness. When I unplugged that I got the dash lights. I did get the vsc trac off at first and I was freaking out! I reset the ecu and it went away. I also had a loose clamp on my intake, so that may have caused it. I haven't had any lights for a while, and the car always ran fine. Did you get a check engine light too? or just the vsc trac off?

To shut off the air bag light, you will need Two tiny 2 ohm power resistors (about $3) and insert/plug and tape ea into the 2 airbag wires. This will ground the connections and your air bag light will go out.

Don't know what the f... you did. LOL. But to be safe spend the $75 to get it check out by a local installer. My custom steering wheel install was plug and play. Good Luck

What hub are you using? Did you disassemble the black plastic circular piece that was behind the stock steering wheel? If you messed with it, you need to replace it, that plastic piece has a sensor for the traction control so it knows what angle your steering wheel is at.
