On my tourer the front seatbelt tensioners are on the seat belt stalks.
At the rear, I would guess that the outer seat tensioners are in the door pillars, like many cars and the center tensioner is in the seat back where the retracting mechanism is.
If so there has to be a cable to it, but to be honest I've not spotted a cable when folding down the seat for extra space or cleaning.
The tensioning can be done both ways.
The short to ground could be anywhere between the tensioner and the SRS / AIRBAG module though.
You could try disabling it, though like many safety systems, especially restraints, it may leave the light on and render the rest of the system inoperative !
The most important thing to be aware of is that before removing any plugs, or doing any checking of components or wiring the battery, after making note of security codes, neg terminal must be disconnected for between 30 seconds, and several mins, depending on manufacturer, to allow the capacitors to discharge, and as a general warning, be aware that airbag system cables are in a yellow sheath.
