Default Unplugged rear seats w/o disconnecting battery: now AIRBAG light on

As the title says. I unplugged in order remove the rear seats so I could fix the headrests and lumbar (the usual motor cable problem). Good news: headrests and lumbar work. Bad news: airbag light on. I checked all connections, the plugs are fine. During the process, I never disconnected the battery. Should I have? How do I get rid of the light? Note: I do not have VAGCOM

you need to find a vagcom or pay a shop to check/clear the codes.

Anyone on LI who can help me clear the code? I'd be willing to compensate with a small gratuity...

Or would disconnecting the battery for a while solve it?

airbag faults are not cleared when the battery is disconnected, try checking the regional forums.
