pragmatix Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 So that's a placement then, or is there a fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pragmatix Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Iantt, correct again. A blast out with compressed air and a squirt of WD40 has sorted it, but I've got one on order just on case it's not sorted, you can bet you bottom dollar that I've got a spare I won't need it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pid16v Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Rather than start a new topic, unless deemed necesary by the mods? i have this intermittent warning also, except i've noticed the alarm only happens when the car is moving. If i stop even for a few seconds at a junction etc the alarm will stop, then within seconds of moving off, there it goes again BEEP BEEP BEEP! flashing icon.........AAAAAAAAAGH it's doing my head in.

The fact you only get the warning when the car is moving is to be expected, the alarm is designed to be triggered once the vehicle is moving above a certain speed. (Try it with your seat belt unfastened as the driver, even with your belt not "on" the car will only start complaining once it's moving above a certain speed). Your issue, by the sounds of it is either your car thinks someone is in the seat when they aren't OR someone IS sat in the seat (with their seatbelt on) but the buckle isn't detecting it so the car thinks they haven't got their belt on and starting "bonging" at you once you start moving. If it's the latter scenario then the solution suggested by @iantt would seem like the fix to try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pid16v Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Thanks Damien. I have since read in the owners handbook this will occurr at appx 6mph, and it also seems to be the passenger seat buckle as it only happens when my wife is in the car .🥴 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pid16v Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 More on this. I've been somewhat distracted recently but I was reminded a couple of days ago when I had to use the car. I've ordered a replacement drivers side buckle which I will get fitted hopefully by weekend. I've read that the seatbelt alarm is connected to the airbag so are there any precautions I should take apart from battery disconnect.

Milkman Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I had this issue with my MK1 Focus and I cured it by, start the engine, whilst sat in the seat move it forward and backwards and return it to your preferred position, put the car in gear and rock it forward and backwards slightly, 1st and reverse, that sorted the issue which I believe was caused by me moving the seat without sitting in it, it was the drivers seat.

Pid16v Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Finally swapped the buckle and sorted, no more bonging. [emoji106]Sent from my I3113 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
