Default ABS/ESP/AirBag Light

I went to the track last weekend and took out my rear and front passenger seat. I unplugged the 3 plugs that were under the front passenger seat.

Airbag light was obviously on when I had the seat out. Now, after putting the seat back in and plugging everything back, the ABS, ESP and AirBag light stay lit.. any ideas?

Its APR chipped.
