I'm sure Russ or Brian will put me right, but I can't see a T4 helping you here as you can't get the circuit powered up.

With a non safety circuit, as has been mentioned before, if you wire a bulb into the circuit in place of the fuse with a short it will light up.
Then start unplugging connections until the bulb goes out and you have found the short circuit.

With the airbag circuit though I wouldn't start unplugging things with it powered up. But maybe you could power it down each time and leave it for 10 minutes. Then disconnect one plug at a time and power it back up?

Might point you in the right direction and save some dismantling.
