A thermal fuse is built into diagnostic monitor. If a short to ground should occur in air bag deployment circuit, microcomputer in diagnostic monitor will send a signal to fuse, causing it to open. Open fuse removes all firing power (battery/back-up power) from deployment circuits. This prevents unwanted air bag deployments due to damaged vehicle wiring. If you open the air bag module, you will see the fuse and a black resistor (usually black). Might want to try to find a replacement. Usually the reason these go out is b/c the clock spring is bad.
