I stand to be corrected here but I believe there are 2 crash sensors, the one you found under the dash and one just behind the front bumper. In a crash both have to be activated together for the airbag/s to deploy. So in a lesser or low speed frontal hit the bumper one might be activated but because the bumper and/or radiator support give and soak up the impact the dash one doesn't get a hard enough jolt to set off the bags.

Bushbasher has pretty well got it right, they are part of a system that deploys the airbags and activates the seatbelt pretensioners in a crash. Whatever you do, dont mess with it!
