My light was working fine. all i did was remove the dash panel and wires, to replace a bulb in the drive light indicator. unpluged the wires from the speedometer and replaced after i installed the bulb. started car fine and noticed light on. im thinking i should have unpluged the battery first.
Should not have anything to do with the fact you did not disconnect the battery it sounds more like you have nocked an air bag sensor that may be on its way out.
The thing is they are to important to play with if you take to an auto electrician they can reset the computer.
Then if it comes on again you may need to spend some $
Let me know how you go.

just have your star screu driver take off the speedometer cover take out the speedometer and replace bulb. and also take out the door mat and replace bulb.

There is a plastic garnish surrounding the instrument cluster held in by 2 philips head screws. remove the screws and gently pry the garnish from top first then sides then it should pull out.
Then remove the 3 screws holding the cluster in place (2 bottom 1 top). Once that is done gently flip the cluster bottom up and pull out some to expose the wiring harness. Remove the 3 connectors from the back and then the cluster will pull out.
There are 3 bulbs that control the overall lighting of the cluster. They are spaced about every third across the rear of the cluster. They are the larger Green knobs. Remove the 3 large green knobs and replace the bulbs with the appropriate size. You can call your local parts store to find out the size.
Its a 5 minute job and does not require the entire removal of the dash board.
