Airbag Light after carpet cleaning?
I recently decided to deep clean my 06 TL and that meant pulling the seats out to really clean those camel carpets. I was careful to disconnect the battery for about 15 minutes before hand, carefully disconnected all connections before lifting the seats, carefully laying the seats down on their back, and double checking that everything was connected before reconnecting the battery. My airbag light came on which I figured would go away after a driving a few miles.
I've put about 80 miles on her since then and the light is still on. I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting connections, I checked continuity with the other end of the cable under the steering wheel with a multimeter and a paper clip, and I even tried resetting the light with that paper clip based on several youtube video suggestions. Am I missing anything? What could I possibly have done wrong? If my memory serves me, I did have the same issue when I first got the car back in 2019, and there was some combination of turning the key without actually starting the car several times but I can't find anything to verify that.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Take it to a parts store that does free OBD2 scans. It'll show you exactly what fault is occuring. Most of the ABS faults have to do with the front passenger weight sensor failing.
