since having a check at a garage on why a particular fuse keeps blowing, her airbag light is permantly on, it was ok before. When she phoned up the garage, they said it was because of the fuse blowing, even though they did not find a fault. This i think was crap! they then said they could not re-set it, it needs to go to a garage that can do it.

depends how old the car is, but take it back to the dealership, if it under 3 years, have them fix it, and don't leave till they do.
if the garage U took it to could find a fault, then take to to another one, the has a lot of knowledge about a daewoo's, the dealership is best.
if the light is on it may mean that there is a fault in the circuit, meaning the airbags will not deploy when needed, or even deploy when they aren't needed, causing an accident

So let me get this straight. They checked your car, it was blowing a fuse. The replaced the fuse and didn't find a cause for it blowing? That in itself should have let you know to take it somewhere else! I would recommend exactly that, take it to somebody who knows what they are doing.
And make sure they can reset your air bag light while there at it.
I hate when idiots pretend to be mechanics.

Fuses do not blow for no reason this needs to be fixed .You will have to take it to an auto specialist to have your ECU codes checked do not attempt this yourself this could be dangerous.It is likely that the fuse problem is affecting your air bag light.Regards Mick

i had a similar prob with my engine management light, nothing wrong just had to reset it, the garage had to get a call out man with a van and these special tools/machine (which i had to pay for) just to reset it. cost me £40. apparantly they dont keep this equipment at garrages, a mobile van goes round and does it (and charges) good luck!

try disconnecting the negative battery terminal for 10mins, that should reset the ECU, it may reset the airbag aswell

Scrap the fecker and buy her a decent, safe motor. She hits a dog with that piece of junk, she's dead.
