    I really thought all these plugs were one way? Seems like you'd have to really force it to get it in backwards.....

    You may have done quite a bit of damage. Let me make sure I understand what happened. When you were working on your mini was the battery still connected? So when you tried to plug the harness back in the airbag blew because you had the harness plug upside-down.
    If this is what happened you have set off the immobilizer. Off the top of my head I don't remember how to reset in. Someone els here may know, I can check later today after work. You may check your battery there is a Fuse module at the battery that may be blown. Are you getting any power? Its #2 below. If you are getting power what codes is it showing. I hope you didn't fry your ECU or BCM
