The airbag light is on because the computer has detected a problem with the airbag circuit. Does that have anything to do with changing the heater core? Possible, but very unlikely. Ask the guy at Napa and see what he says about it.



The drain plug will be at the lowest point on your radiator, on the inside (toward the engine).

might have knock off a wire while he was under dash

and type into search box



how to flush a radiator



drain plugs are along bottom edge of most radiators and you can always remove lower hose to drain really best way to flush as well remove a hose crank car let run coolant wil push out add water hose into radiator to flush not hard
The air bag light may or may not be related to the repair. Was it on when you picked up the vehicle? If so, there may be a connector that's unplugged.

You don't need to find the drain if you're going to flush the system. You simply need a hose connector.
many newer cars have no drain...if none on yours pull off the lower hose to flush...didn't the mechanic flush and refill with 50/50 coolant/water? if not shame on him for a crappy job....that goes for the air bag too..the computer detected that it was unhooked to remove dash,,,he should have disconnected battery to do work
the mechanic may have needed to remove it to replace the heater core?

But that's not likely

give your mechanic and have him look at it.
Just take the lower radiator hose off to drain. Put it back on and fill with radiator flush and run it for a few minutes then remove the hose again to drain. Put the hose back on and fill with coolant.
