Seat spill, now air bag doesn't work

Heeeeelp! I spilled some tea (it was room temperature) on my passenger side seat, (2013 M6 convt). Now, my air bag system isn't working, two red indicator lights are lit on the dash. It's Friday night, the dealer's service is closed for the weekend. I patted it dry, then finished with a blow dryer, I think it's all dry, but air bag lights are still lit.
I imagine the worst, the seat is stained and short circuited, they have to order a new seat from Germany, it takes six months, then an amateur mechanic installs it so it never works again and my insurance company has clause that omits drink spilling idiots.
Maybe I'm over reacting, but I'm bummed. How can the seat be so sensitive, it was only some Luke-warm tea? I know shame on me. But, anyone ever have this happen? Any easy (do it yourself) way to fix it? Any chance it will fix itself by morning?
