Airbag light on dash

[hplsromantic_90]

So, I'm new here everybody. I have an 05 4runner SR5 v6 Rwd. 130,000 miles on her. Great vehicle, reliable, extremely capable. My issues is I had a drunk friend. I was DD for a night out and my drunk friend went a little crazy in the front passenger seat and hit his side of the dash quite hard. No visible damage but my airbag light on the dash is illuminated and I'd like to find a way to turn it off until I have the money to take it to a dealership. Nobody is allowed to ride in that seat for the moment due to safety concerns, but the light is illuminated and I really enjoyed my nice clean gauge cluster until recently. Any ideas?

It doesn't matter what seat you sit in, the entire airbag system is now currently non-operable, when the light goes on the system shuts down as a safety feature I believe.

The light will stay on as long as the fault is still there, you can try pulling the fuse but if I remember right it'll still leave the light on.
