Default Airbag light?

So I was pulling into my driveway and hit a sharp lip. My airbag light on the dash came on as I felt the jar. My guess would be a connection somewhere. Anyone know where the airbag sensors are? Anyone with other ideas?
I'm running a MY02 3 spoke steering wheel that has been installed for over a year with no issues.
My front bumper cover was changed to a euro turbo cover over a year ago, once again with no issues.

It's an OBD 1 car. I don't have a reader. I might be able to borrow one though. Will it give me the bad sensor?

Well, the bad news is that you are gonig to have to find someone with a "hammer" or one of the scantool set-ups that were being sold here on Rennlist a while back to reset the lights. One place to check and then clean the contacts are the impact sensors on the front wheelwells in the trunk. I can't remember if it's recommended to disconnect your battery before doing this but they come apart easily and with a contact cleaner and some emery paper clean the contacts up nicely.
