    The DERM is part of the SRS (air bag system). It stores and supplies the 36V power that is used by the deployment loops to inflate the air bags. The module also performs the diagnostics and provides trouble codes for the SRS system. The DERM draws power from the "air bag" 15 amp fuse. The 3 amp fuse only supplies power to the DERM when the engine is cranking. The main function appears to be to turn on the air bag warning light when the engine is cranking. The 94 schematics don't show anything else on this fuse. If you don't have air bags, you don't need the fuse. If you do have air bags, leave it alone.
