I changed the 7.5 fuse under the hood, and it was working again. After about three days or so the fuse blew out again. Then I went and changed it again and it did the same thing. Why does the fuse keep blowing out and what can I do to fix this problem for good? Is it okay if I put a higher amp fuse in like a 10amp fuse instead? Or will that cause more problems with my electrical system?

That fuse powers a couple of different circuits as well as the seat belt controller, the attached shows the two that are part of the seat belt system. As for using a higher fuse, that would cause a problem due to it blowing frequently. It sounds like there is an intermittent short in one of the circuits fed from that fuse. You can use this guide to start the process:
