Default airbag light connection

On the radio trim panel, the one you take off to access the radio, is a small connection the goes to an airbag warning light on the top of that panel. I had no problems with it when taking the panel off, putting back on was a but trickier. I had to keep working till the connection was made. I see in the manual that I was "supposed": to disconnect the negative side cable from the battery. Is that a problen not doing thate disconnect? I was a bit leery when disconnecting it since I had to sit in the passenger seat to reach it decently.

I've disconnected mine a dozen times without issue. Not to say that the 13th time won't end badly lol.

I forget which module, don't remember the code but I looked it up and it was for an "open in the wiring" from module to dash light
I cleared it and it hasn't come back, so I figure it was from unplugging that light

if you're not familiar with forscan.org you should check it out, it's awesome, a great tool that is currently free
