Seat belt light stays on

[john55]

I did a search of the site for the topic. I couldn't find it, nothing in the Haynes manual. i'm sure it's a simple fix (lol) when i buckle up start the engine the seat belt light stays on, even if i start engine first then buckle up it stays on. any ideas other the black electrical tape over it. thanks in advance john

Pull the bulb out???


I'm not familiar with this type. Is it the switch in the buckle or will it be a switch on the roller at the housing?

I do believe it's at the buckle.

thanks guys, i'll pull the bulb i always wear them il mandatory state belt law. you can ride in the bed of the truck w/ nothing but up front a seat belt is a must

Yeah, pretty screwed up, huh?

Here you can't ride in the back of the truck unless you're over 16 years old. Unless the law didn't pass. I remember used to ride in the back of my dads trucks sitting on the wheel hump. Try that today going down I-35 !!! NOT !!! Biggo Ticket. Supposed to be setting down flat with your back to the cab. I know I need to research these laws, cuz I was thinking of bolting down 2 seats behind the cab, in the bed with seat belts. That might not even be legal. Remember Suburu Brats came that way from the factory as an Option.

There must be some sort of timer box for the seatbelt light, because it's not supposed to stay lit even if the seatbelt is not buckled. Whatever controls the light must be toast.

Bingo, thats where my switch is.
Get some electrcal contact cleaner, and douche up the buckle.
