5 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 03/22/2018

I went to the Chrysler dealership to replace an orc module s61 that was recalled. They replaced the part but right as I was leaving the delearship, my airbag light came on. I called the dealership to let them know because I had to pick up my kids from the bus stop, she told me to bring it up during my oil change the next week. I did and they told me it wasn't their problem, the recall had nothing to do with the airbags, and quoted me at $600 for them to go through my car and check the wires. The service manager did tell me the obd 2 reading was b1c29-left side seat thorax squib 1 open and b1c2d- right side seat thorax squib 1 open; and advised me to unplug and plug all the connectors under the seat. I did this and nothing happened. I called them back and they said they couldn't do anything to fix it and it was my fault not theirs and I recieved the same $600 quote to fix it. I know it happened while they were working on it and I have found a couple of threads with people that had the same problem and they all said to make a complaint on here.
