AOBTD (Another one bites the dust)

[devinlamothe]

Well ... ANOTHER Yaris has bit the dust. This time it was some moron who was watching a movie on a PSP while driving, and rear-ended me. The air bags did NOT go off.

I have a question though. The rear bumper is obviously needing to be replaced, but my air bag light is on in my cluster, as well as the AIRBAG OFF light & the seatbelt light for the passenger seat.

The seatbelt light stays on even if the seatbelt is plugged in. If someone sits in the seat, both the AIRBAG ON and AIRBAG OFF light come on at the same time.

I am guessing this has to do with a rear-impact sensor being destroyed, but I am worried now the airbag can go off at any time because of this. My insurance has said if the airbag goes off anytime after the accident I would not be covered for it (which I think is BS), so I am trying not to drive it - but if anyone could give me a suggestion of what this may be caused by I would appreciate it.

And before anyone asks, myself and my girlfriend are OK, but have sore necks and backs but should be fine.
