+--- Thread: Seat Belt Buzzer woes (/showthread.php?tid=806)
- ccm911 - 08-27-2007
Has anyone ever had the seatbelt buzzer go on while the car is just sitting in the garage? I do keep the keys in the ignition, and twice, the buzzer just started going. It stopped when I removed the key from the ignition switch. And now it will not go off when I am driving. Is there a timer I need to check?
Thanks.

It should be a relay right? Maybe that is sticking closed. The timer is probably in there also...

There it is:

Either the relay is not grounding through the seat belt or the relay is bad...It looks like there is a connector with 2 wires going to the seat belt latch, unplug it and cross the wires and see if it goes off....

Wow! Thanks, Darren. You are a fast driver and a good diagnostician to boot. I'll work on it this weekend.

I finally fixed the seatbelt buzzer problem! Went out for a ride on Sunday, and the darn thing was buzzing away nonstop. What to do? I pulled out my Swiss Army Knife and removed the tach, but could not reach inside the dash. I put the tach back in and removed the temp gauge. I was then able to get my hand in behind the dash to find the offending buzzer. It felt like a big relay. Being the half-ass I am, I just pulled it right out. Silence. Next, I tried all the electrics and everything worked as expected. Now when I shook the old relay/buzzer, I could feel that something had let loose, as there was a rattle when I shook it. Bad part.
I'd rather be lucky than smart.
