Seatbelt warning chime when wearing seatbelt

Postby LooneyDoodle » Sat Apr 01, 2023 7:40 am

Hi, 2015 plate, basic version


My seatbelt warning light & chime is randomly coming on, when wearing the seatbelt. Can go over bumps, round bends and it comes on, another bump, another bend and it stops. No rhyme or reason as to when it does
Does it if wearing searbelt or not
The only time it doesn't do it at all is when I'm reversing

Have tried the plug seat belt in & out however many times to turn the chimes off but it hasn't worked - think it's not recognising when seatbelt is plugged in

Had a read up, from what I can find, it's either the switch in the seat belt clip or the wiring

Is there an idiots guide to taking the seat belt clip apart? Have searched but not finding anything (maybe I'm using the wrong words)

The wiring, my sparks friend is going to check for me but can't do it for a couple weeks

I'm happy to wear the seatbelt, not looking to drive without wearing it and it chimes whether wearing or not

The repetitive chime is driving me nuts - so hoping someone can help

Thank you

A random idea worth trying ............................

Get a short extender, and plug that in :) That may turn off the irritating chimes, because it could be that there's a mismatch between the belt plug and stalk receptor :?:

Disable the warning chime by plugging and unplugging the seat great several times in quick succession. Can't remember how many, think about half a dozen?! Presuming the switch in the catch recognises each time it's plugged in.
