Have you checked the state of the electric seat connector. May have something in it etc which may have created a short and blown a fuse. Check the engine bay fuses and the one in the cabin on the drivers' side kick panel.

Edit: The ECU does not control those things. They are controlled by the BEM which is under the dash next to the steering column. You may have blown an interior multi-purpose fuse.

As vlad says - the ECU has nothing to do with the seats/lights/radio/windows etc- it's for the mechanical side of the car. What controls the interior electrical function is the BEM and its very unlikely you've blown the BEM.

It sounds like the typical fuse that people blow when doing radio installs. Main culprit is inside a yellow casing in the engine bay fuse box. You need to carefully lift it up (look for tabs that hold it in place) using precision screw drivers or pliars and then check the two fuses inside. If they're fine then work your way around the engine bay fuse and then moving onto the cabin fuses. Guarantee it's a fuse.

Check this thread for pretty pictures of the fuse boxes.
