Easier to short the two wires together at the socket under the rear seat cushion than taking the wheel off again.
Did you route the wires from the new sensor correctly? Quite common to find the wires have rubbed through on the inside of the wheel rim after DIY rear brake replacement.

Can still rub the rim if not exactly correct.

There's only one plug and socket under the rear seat - an eight pin one.
The wires to short are blue/white and either blue/yellow or green/yellow.
