Air bag light came on for no reason
Yesterday I noticed the airbag light was on. I searched the forums, and followed a suggestion to check the fuse. I didn't know which one it was, but I found a blown fuse in the marked image below:
I replaced the fuse, with another 15amp fuse, and I turned on the engine, and the light was off.
But today I turned on the car, and the airbag light was on again. I went to check the fuse, and it was blown again.
I'm afraid this will continue to happen, I had the front bumper painted a few days ago, I don't know if that could've messed with something that is making a short circuit and blowing the fuse.
What do you think?

Thanks Muddydawg75, that helps me out a lot.
I'm going to change the fuse again, if it blows one more time I will go to the shop who painted my bumper and tell them to take it off again and see if they didn't do anything to the sensor by accident.

I was doing a search for this problem on google, and I saw a lot of people saying it might come from a cut wire from the seat, from regulating it or from changing anything.
When I had the front bumper repaired, I also fixed the plastic right next to the seat. Here is a picture of it before repair:
I had that repaired, and I don't know if they took it out, but maybe when taking it out it messed with the airbag wires somehow, do you think it's possible?

it should have a body control code stored in it . this may help to point to the problem. you can also pop off that side panel to inspect for pinched wires under it. i would not keep putting fuses in it do to a accidental discharge of a airbag . that would make for a really bad day ....
