Default Air Bag Light Came On

A couple of weeks ago I replaced the steering rack in my '04 Ram (2nd time this year). When I had everything apart, I had my 10 year old daughter hop in because I wanted to see if there was any play in the steering column. Before I could say not to, she gave the steering wheel a spin. The problem is, the rack was not attached, so it basically "free-spun". I tried to figure out where the "center" of travel would be and went on with my business.

Now when I turn sharply, the air bag light comes on in my dash. How do I fix it?

Didn't spin up any wires around the shaft above the pedals did it?

Never thought about that. I'll have to take a look.
