Default Electrical issues!!!! please help

Hi i have searched and searched for people on google and forums to see if anyone else is having issues like i am.

I have a 2005 350z roadster, the problem im having is one night i was at a friends house leaving and notices my reverse lights were now working. i checked the bulbs, checked the fuses. i have the 6 speed so i went to the dealer and purchased a reverse switch and installed that in the transmission. still no fix. a little later after noticing the reverse lights out, now my airbag light started flashing. i followed the tutorial on resetting it but it has shown up again. the car is now out of inspection and without reverse lights i cant get a valid sticker. I dont know if it is an issue with my ipdm but there is one fuse that keeps blowing in it that is labled A/T i believe. as stated i have the 6 speed manual. has anyone else had these issues. i am worried that i have a major electrical issue going on. i have a check engine light on but that is due to the throttle body code. i have nitrous installed on the car and the signal wire tapped in causes it to throw the code. the only other thing i could guess is maybe the back up camera installed is causing issues or shorting out something maybe? if anyone has any advice please let me know. thanks in advance!!!

also wanted to mention, that if i dont drive the car for a few days, the battery will discharge which makes me think there is something causing a short

That'd be my first guess.
