   The air bag light is a pain in the arse. Mine is on all the time and ive tryed fiddling with the clips and wires under the seat making sure there in properly but no suck luck the light is still on. I think ill just leave mine as i'm used to it and hardly notice it anymore. You could just put something over it like a bit of tape.

   still dont know about the fuse but i think there is only 1 air bag in my saxo and its not there any more due 2 the new steering wheel so would it make a difference if the hole system went down?

   there is a clip under the seat when that gets dirt or come loose that makes the light come on. Just take it apart and blow it and put it back in

    because under the seat there is a orange cable which is also connected to the air bag ecu ... common fault on saxos are the air bag lights coming on due to these rubbish conections under the seat mine went out for a while just by fidling with the connectors taking them out cleaning them then putting them back .... that worked for while bt then i did that method and its not come on since .... thisd is probally a bad method for you as you still have standard steering wheel air bag bt its a thought ....
