Seat belt indicator that remains on

[er1cw]

Hi guys.

Having problem with my sear belt indicator that stays on even thou both passenger and I are bucked in. It happens only when pax sit in before I start the car. If I start the car before pax sit in, all indications remain normal.

What's wrong with my BMW?

Nothing wrong with your BMW. Only something wrong with the seat belt sensors.

No sound. Just indicator light on the dash. Any idea what is the damage for seat belt sensor fault?

Bro,
theres a connector under the seat , fairly commen for these to get caught or have a loose contact or unplugged. get a torch and have a look at the connector under the seat. Try disconnecting it. it is a clip like connector underneath the seat. Try cleaning it like SSzone said, then connect it back.....trial and error....hope it works. it could be a Problematic micro switch too, hope its not.

cheers

Bro,

it should look like this one; the black connector....trace the wiring from ur floor board upwards (towards ur passanger seat).....

hope this helps.....

Re: Seat belt indicator that remains on

the warning sound can be very annoying when i usually unbuckle while parking.
anyone tried to disable the warning completely?
put a jumper wire maybe?
