TJeep_1999 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I'm compiling a list of repairs I'll do (parts I'll get) once I get my tax return back so I'll add this one to my list or maybe I'll get lucky and there is a simple fix. My little seat belt dude is always lit up. Not a huge deal and praises be that he doesn't ding, but is there a fuse or something I can pull to get him to turn off or has some one else had this problem and now how to fix it? Is it meaningful that he is lit, but doesn’t ding? Is he supposed to be on all the time Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodsWagon Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Are both the passenger and drivers side shoulder belts plugged into the auto seatbelt bracket? That is the only thing that will turn on the seatbelt dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WagonsOnly Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 A fried seatbelt control module thingy, a broken track or a broken motor/cable will also turn on Mr. Seatbelt Guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJeep_1999 Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 Both auto shoulder belts are plugged in and both move along the tracks as intended when the doors open and close. The passenger side shoulder belt does seem a bit slack though... It doesn't seem to retract into the center console very well. If the seatbelt control module thingy is fried would the belts still be operating? Where is this device? So the shoulder belts work, but the passenger side has some slack to it. The lap belts don't affect the seatbelt light guy at all. He never dings. What is his "normal operating procedure" for this little guy? Thanks!

TROGDOR! Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I believe the driver's side lap belt buckle also has an actuator on it, but I'm not positive. If it has one, it'll plug in under the seat, and it can be snagged and unplugged when pulling out something you stored under your seat. Worth a look anyway. Also, this has no effect on the operation of the seatbelts. The lock mechanisms in them are activated by G-forces, pulling speed, and gravity. If you have a seatbelt spool removed, hold it at any angle besides upright and try pulling the belt out, and you'll see what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJeep_1999 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Trogdor you are the man. The plug under the seat was connected, but the wires leading into it were cut. I'm not sure how this would happen or why you would cut them since the connector is right there Either way I'm going to just splice them together and go from there. Thanks for your help everybody!!!
