Airbag light on and climate control not blowing after starter fail

Hello guys,
I searched the forum and didn't find nothing exactly like my problem.
After about 17 months of owning my first BMW 2006 325i (120k miles) the started died. I was experiencing slow turns on and finally died. Battery was perfect, no connection problems. I called AAA and the guy wanted to jump start the car, I told him these cars are sensitive to that but he said don't worry I am a professional. Any way, after finding the started normally fail about the age and miles of my car I got the started replaced , took me about 4-5 hours ,,, not easy
The car turns on very strong and quick now, everything works except:
1. The airbag light is ON and warning symbol for airbag
2. climate controls turns on but NO air flow

In the process of fixing the car, few possible things that can cause the 2 problems described above:
1. The battery was disconnected for a full day.
2. The 2nd day I left the trunk open all day and the battery was connected. Maybe the car went to transport mode?
3. The AAA guy damage something when he jump start the car?

So far, I tried the following:
1. Unplug the battery for about 1 hr.
2. Checked fuses 29 & 60 if I remember right, they are fine (checked with DMM)

Thanks for the help
Any help will be very appreciated

Solved the problem...blower motor died ...

After troubleshoot the climate control with DIS software we found the Blower motor was not running and voltage was applied from climate control unit. Taped the blower with a small hammer and it started running.
