you will have to take it to the dealer to have the computer reflashed in order to reset it. they will tell you why the light is on so you can fix the problem. when the light is on the air bag will not deploy if you have a accident
I would think the engine would crank and start with the airbag deployed. I would check for voltage at the starter, the neutral safety switch, and the key switch. You might have to get a shop manual to trace the starter circuits.
There may not be a sensor in that very location where the damage is but it may have been enough to trigger at least one sensor. The thing to do would have a shop hook up a scanner and see why the light is on instead of replacing sensors. Usually it takes more force to trigger a sensor inside the car than it does to trigger and outside sensor. And at least two sensors need to trigger before an airbag is deployed.
There is a fault in the Restraint/Air bag system , this is something that you cannot do alone you will have to take it to the Dealer or a Mechanic that has the proper diagnostic software for the vehicle to have the code cleared or determine why the light is on.
This answer makes a mountain out of a mole hill! There are two screws directly under the light accessible from the trunk (in two hole, the wires come out of one of them)- just unscrew and you can manuever out without taking off the whole back panel.
