Does the seat have the side airbag? They may have forgotten to reconnect the airbag or cut the wires to it.

Everything underneath the seats it's been plugged in and rechecked few times-no freestanding plugs.I was thinking maybe needs to be reset?

Do you have the side air bags? For right now I will assume that you do have side air bags.

Did the air bag get re-installed? You should see a yellow plastic wire harness connector under the seat.

As for resetting the airbag controller, the pressing of the door button thing does that. You could try disconnecting the battery cable for 10 - 15 minutes and then try the door switch thing again.

Maybe you should try the self diagnostics that is in the service manual. It starts on page 51 in the link below:
