Fasten your seat belt

[KENAN_JAMES]

for some reason my fasten seatbelt sign comes on then goes off. Even when I am wearing it,this happens usually over bumpy roads. I am sure it's a bad relay or somthing. The problem is I don't know were to check or what I would have to replace. Can sombody help its kinda annoying.

its a simple fix, Just put some black electircal tape over the idoit light


how did your trip to sunny AZ turn out? did you enjoy the day at the track?


Gnttyp.org or vortexbuick.com should have the right diagram to walk you through this.

Replace the chime module. I think its above your right leg behind the hush panel...kinda between the radio pod and the steering column. Some are red, some black. Its a box around the size of a pack of smokes. Has one row of 4 terms, and one row of 3...jeez, been so long I think thats where it is.... I know its there on something that I have worked on I do know its a pain in the arm to get out because there are little lock tabs that you cant get yer fingers on.

You can simply unplug the connecter at the base of the seat belt.

Unplugging the connector does not help the problem. You do need the chime module or alarm as GM calls it. Part # (2552-4794). I have replaced them in both my cars and it took care of more than one problem because the headlamps and ignition are link through it too.

GMpartsdirect.com lists it for $32.23 plus shipping.....

If the engine cuts out also, consider checking your fusible links near the starter.

mine did the same thing, I just pulled the bulb out when I had the dash bezel off for some other reason.

There are lots of connectors like that, poked up under the dash. You wonder if GM had some workers with long skinny arms, and little bitty hands- but very strong.

thankz

Thank for all the replys. Black tape over the damn thing seems like the easiest way but kinda sloppy I will check under the dash maybe I might get lucky. Taking out the light seems kinda practical as well. thankz again.

don't hate

Well at least you know how to fix it . You should thank me. the part is 17 years old what do you expect.

 

[BLACK6PACK]

Sorry KC,
Mine rang about 7 of the 15 minutes to work this morning. Luckily I have about 450 watts and 2 bazooka base tubes.

Who do you guys order your parts from, or do you go to the local dealer?

Take the part# given above and go to www.gmpartsdirect.com usually alot lower price than the dealer.

 

[pacecarta]

another thing is i usually wait till i have a small list , gmpartsdirect has some high ship=handling rates (might surprise you) but in the end it can still be cheaper than locals , the ship rate goes down per item with every additional item .

if your pressed for time and your just after the one part take the price from gmpartsdirect and go thru checkout and get your shipping , take that price and the part # to your local dealer and see if they can sell it for that . the locals can usually get it much quicker than gmpartsdirect and can sometimes have it overnighted for a fee
