Yes, negative terminal.

Being it's a hard reset, there's no need to disconnect the positive terminal...

The Negative (aka ground) is always disconnected first in DC voltage circuits. This avoids any chance of arcing with chassis..

I’m having the same issue as you. My rear passenger headrest is not latching, the seat release button is lit up and my cord is not retracting. How did you take the seat apart to get the cord to go back in? I’ve tried tugging it numerous times from different angles and it’s not retracting. Thanks!
