Thanks in advance.
. . accidently or purposely, disconnected one of the SRS 'plugs' ==== OR ==== they disconnected one, started the car, and subsequently re-plugged the connector.

You can diagnose which it is by using a SCANNER to reset the SRS system. If the SRS goes out and stays out, then the scenario was the second.

If it doesn't, it's the first; the good news the scanner will tell you which it is, so you can have them fix it. They PROBABLY don't have a MB compatible scanner, so they coudn't reset it.

The SRS system must be reset w/ a scan tool; it won't go out by itself.
