Default (Solved) How to Reset SRS Airback light?

I removed my seats while i was dynamatting the interior and it set off the check air bag light.

i see how to do it on the Insight1 but not insight 2, i gave it a try from what they did to solve it but no luck.

The yellow connector is connected to another plug unlike all the youtube videos and directions people have given for past hondas and acuras.

i used a light bulb to test if there was any power in the wires and only when the yellow connectors were together would the one of the pins give off energy as it would flash 4-6 times as i turned the ignition. i did try a paper clip to both pins while the plugs were connected and no results other then the light staying on.

So i did try many different combos to to try to reset it but no luck.
I rather not take it into the dealer for a $100 bucks to reset it.

can anyone help?

YouTube - Airbag connector?

when i disconnect the yellow plug and try the putting in the light checker it wont work only when plugged in, and i did try using a paper clip into the two pins while yellow is connected and no results

I wish someone had an answer i think i will visit the Dealer tomorrow and drop $100 to get it cleared, guess i'm the first to run into such a problem. (dumb move on my part)

After spending alot of time with electric testers i found out i had a short in the airbag wire on my passenger seat near the connector. Fixed it , then tried the paper clip trick again and this time it worked hella yeah! that would cost a grip to have them locate a short.
