Anytime anything that is on the airbag gets disconnected, it puts the system in warning mode. Always remove the neg- battery terminal before anything is unplugged inside the vehicle, especially the airbag system. Some reset by removing the neg- battery terminal until the caps drain out(5-10mins). Other resets require a special key turning process to reset. Check a forum of you make and model, its always a good way to find info like that.

Find someone with a diagnostic reader that can hook your car up to it...and have them reset the SRS system (clear the code). I had this happen when messing with some wiring. The light never came back on.
