Airbag light after putting door panels back on

Ok so my truck is finally done drying out after my water event due to the vapor barriers, BTW I suggest everyone check theirs, every single door on my truck needed to be re-sealed.

I put all door panels back on and re-installed the passenger seat yesterday. I started the truck to go out to dinner last night and the red airbag light is now on. Could I have triggered this by starting the truck with the door panels off? I didn't touch any of the airbags mounted in the door however I am assuming with the amount of wiring that plugs back into the window switch connectors it must have something to do with the airbag. I am thinking about disconnecting the battery for a wile to reset the computer (left to right wheel trick) and see if this get's rid of it. However before I take the back floor apart is there a chance one of the connections I put back to together on the door panels could be causing it?

Frustrated...

I don't think disconnecting battery would fix it, it worth a try.
but most likely you'll need to go to a dealer to get it reset.
