seat belt? wtf? need help guys

my stupid seat belt light wont go off even when seat belt is on. Its starting to drive me nuts. absolutely nuts and I have read threads sayin to unplug the connector under the seat. it still stays on anyone else had this ridiculous problem? any help is appreciated

 

anyone have any idea

 

It sounds like one of the sensors is bad, or there is a bad connection somewhere. I don't think unplugging it would fix the problem. It seems like that would turn the light on? Have you tried disconnecting the battery for a few minutes?

 

yeah I have unhooked the battery numerous times when working on other things, its just really bothering me flashing like it does. what would happen if I cut the wires and grounded them, although that would most likely blow a fuse

 

Been so long since I had an issue with one of these....
I would rather confirm my info before but....
IIRC
The switch in the belt receiver is normally open.
Unplugging the buckle does nothing to help u.
The switch needs to be closed to shut off the light.
Bad switch, bad wiring.
I'm sure there are other possibilities.
Sorry I'm not going to tell u to do something unless I'm sure....

 

do you have any ideas?
as in how to make it stop I'm bout ready to snatch the bulb outbut it sucs taking the dash cluster apart

 

Ok.
Not responsible.
Take a paper clip and back probe the wires out of the harness side of the connector and make a good connection and see if the light goes out.
Make sure the wiring is not yellow..............

 

ok wait I didn't understand that, but also, I may have left out some important info, sorry, If I unplug the harness and plug it bac in it works for a day or two, or sometimes just an hour or so.

 

Had this same problem with my 97. All I had to do was move the part that the seat belt plugs into and it went off. If I moved at all the light would come back on. I noticed I had to push it towards the shifter to get the light to go off. Hope that works. Good luck man!

 

Heheheh. Yea that is kinda important.

The connector you unplugged from the seat belt buckle receiver ( the part you plug the shoulder belt into)
Take a paper clip and connect the 2 wires in the connector together on the harness side. Not the buckle side. And turn the truck on and see if the light is out.

 

Good call on checking the plugs under the seat. Otherwise it'll be the switch in your seat belt buckle.

 

I have tried that, iv pushed and pulled and twisted, it won go off unless u unplug the clip under the seat and put it back but that's only temporary it starts again

 

Hate to leave ya but that's outta my knowledge. Haha good luck my friend

 

what's the chance this really messes something up bad?

also I have a 4ch amp under the seat, but the problem started way before I installed the amp.

but whats my chance of really messing up my electrical system or is that the way the sensor in the buckle does it?

 

thanks for the input bud

 

Switch is needed to close. I'm trying to eliminate the harness side of the circuit.

 

ahhh, give me a few mins ill go out and try it

 

well actually I get outside to find out that It is indeed raining and our garage isn't built yet when the rain lets up ill resurrect this thread and let you know. if in fact the light does go out what is ur next suggestion/step

 

Replace the seat buckle assembly.

 

ahhh well at this point in time im on a hunt for a drivers side bucket seat, due to my intense hatred of the 60/40 seats
