2001 Golf (original miles) been driving this baby for 16 years!!! 185,000 miles! So, I was playing drums on the center dash close to the passenger side airbag and then BOOM! Airbag light on. Need it off for inspection. Any ideas?

 

You need to get your motor scanned (preferably with VAG-COM\VCDS) for any error codes logged in the ecu and post them, that will save a lot of guessing.
