My air bag light stays on all the time. I found that the 15 amp fuse was blown so I replaced it. I took the car for a drive and the air bag light stayed off, but when I turned the ignition off and then started the car back up the air bag light came back on. I checked the fuse and found that it was blown again, any suggestions as to what could be wrong would be helpful.

The lable on the fuse box says its the air bag and I think the number of the fuse is 42.

This might require some diagnostic time with the car to determine the issue. Could be something like a pinched wire or possibly a faulty module.
