    I took my stock fenders off to replace them. Got in truck and red lights were on.

    Drivers seat belt, Drivers airbag, Oil

    So I turned off let sit that started it again thinking they just need to reset.

    It worked accept for the DRIVERS AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON...

    you are just going to have to retrace your steps and see if you disconnected or damaged a wire.
    Or, you can see if someone has the wiring diagram and chase those wires.

    Got it..... I know I didn't visibly hit a sensor. But I did get physical at times, so I could of rattled something.

    I am not trying to scare you, but forewarned most any dealer I have heard of will NOT repair an airbag wire, rather want to replace that part of the harne$$.

    Maybe @caribe makaira can help with a wiring diagram to help you trace the wires?

    Enough for now
    My guess is maybe while removing the front fenders a wire got knicked or sensor hit. Not alot in the rear near the fenders that's crucial except on the gas tank side. I've removed all four to trim and replaced without issue, and I totally understand you being physical with them, it's a bitch and a half at times.

    Did you mess with the fender liners at all? There is a pretty good size wire cluster near the cab mount on the drive side that may be the culprit.

    Hope that helps, Semper Fi.
