pragmatix Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Seat belt buckle fault, you can clean it by using compressed air and WD40, doesnt last , but in my experiance its best just to change it its a seat out job to get to the wiring but very easy to do.

Jonro2009 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Just to rule out the most simple fault, and without wishing to cause offence, could it be because you have placed something on the passenger seat? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 even if you have not got something on the passenger seat it is worth put that seat belt in place. if the problem stops it would seem to be something to do with passenger seat weight sensor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving back from the supermarket with a crate of beers on my passenger seat the other day and the belt minder kept going off so I had to belt it up. Even the car doesn't want any spillage ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobr Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I've had this problem in the past with an item on the passenger seat. It doesn't take a lot of weight to set it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
