Default air bag light

So the other night i was going to the drag strip so i took out everything in the trunk and the passenger seat for weight reduction. Which is something i use to do in my old car as well. Of course just like my old car there is wires under the passenger seat (heated seat, air bag sensor, movement control and not sure what the 4th one was) Anyways i know soon as u disconnect the wires the air bag light will flash on the dash.

So that was all good, came home and the next morning i put everything back in, hooked the wires up correctly but the light is still flashing. Checked the wires again, checked the fuse and disconnected the battery. Nothing will stop this light from flashing. Do you guys have any clues whats going on or have had this happen to you?

It may take the dealer to reset it... (removing a 50 lb seat from a 3500 lb car really netted you nothing in times. I wouldn't bother in the future)
