Default Air bags In headrest

I need to plug my headrest airbag on my 2012 Grand . I disconnected it, now my air bag light is on. Can anyone tell me how to remove the front passenger seat back so I can see the wire and plug it back in?

What happen was I lifted the head rest on the passenger front seat and the pin that holds the head rest in did not catch and the head rest came out and unplugged. I would like to know how to remove the back seat cover so I can plug the airbag head rest back in.

And also is there anything else I need to do to make sure the airbag light goes off?

Thank for any help in advance.

I see you were told in your other post the dangers of playing w/ airbags. The appropriate way to service the airbag system in the 2012 GC is to disconnect the battery and wait 2 MINUTES before proceeding.

I removed the back, the wire came out of the plug I disconnected the battery for about 15 min.I tried to crimp the wires back to the connector but it did not work.The airbag light stayed on,I noticed that that it does not make a good connection in the plug. Will need to put on new connectors.Thinking of cutting bothe ends and using diffrent connectors. Any ideas if this is a good thing or should I spend the money and take it back to Chrysler?The van has less then 9000 on it and since I messed it up I don't think they will fix it under warranty.

Believe it or not, they most likely WILL fix it under warranty.
